Weiwei Yang commented on HDFS-11918:
------------------------------------

I agree. Second thought, we could still use strings as KSM DB keys (instead of 
protobuf messages), but adding some encapsulation classes for the read/write. 
This way we could have higher level API in {{MetadataManagerImpl}} instead of 
directly manipulating the database. And have a central place to parse a string 
to volume/bucket/objectKey instances, where we can have a better UT to cover 
different combinations. For now, let me cancel the patch and revisit this if 
necessary. Thanks [~anu], [~xyao].

> There are multiple type of keys stored in KSM database
> # Volume Key
> # Bucket Key
> # Object Key
> # User Key
> Currently they are represented as plain string with some conventions, such as
> # /volume
> # /volume/bucket
> # /volume/bucket/key
> # $user
> this approach makes it so difficult to parse volume/bucket/keys from KSM 
> database. Propose to encapsulate these types of keys into protobuf messages, 
> and take advantage of protobuf to serialize(deserialize) classes to byte 
> arrays (and vice versa).
