<< we just need a way to encode array structures

right, here we have arrays within arrays so we need to have the "hint" to 
explain that in the position after ack_timeout

what I am proposing is to have a string

X,A,B,C

split on ","

X is the number of elements in the topics array

A,B,C... (etc) would be for each topic how many partition array elements are 
there

so this could look

2,2,3

meaning 2 topic_data_struct elements, the first element of the topic array has 
2 partition_data_struct elements in it's array, the second element in the topic 
array has 3 partition_data_struct elements

the walking the positions becomes easy and for the gets from the bytebuffer 
creating the objects

if it was 

5,3,3,3,3,4 then 5 topics, the first 4 of them 3 elements and the last 4 
elements

I will start in on this approach
