------------------------------------
bq. makeCompactString should be deprecated

bq. The makeEscapeCompactString should be refactored to a non-public class.
What will be reason for doing so? There might a user code that might need to
stringify a local counter to write it to a file. The api to de-stringify can be
used by the applications that process job logs externally and want to
reconstruct the counter.
> Counter formatting for the user logs should be pulled out of the public
