https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/351
Some suggestions:
1. A type is not a class. Call types 'type' or '@type' (not clear the @ is
necessary since it's in the metadata payload anyway); Not @class. (Otherwise be
consistent and rename all the Type* classes to be Class*. e.g.
ClassDeserializer)
2. Don't use Java types. Use BSON as a reference. It has a nice type system
and solved most if not all of the type concerns. http://bsonspec.org/spec.html
3. If space and processing efficiency is a priority, then consider actually
using BSON.
4. Alternatively, use an external schema to define types. It could even be
appended to and a part of the output.
