Instead of using inefficient std::ostream, use our own 'bytes' iterator class.
Compute ahead of time the length of the byte buffer.
Afterwards serialize the objects into it.
Gives ~X5 boost over previus results (that sometimes don't even
finish in reasonable time)
[avi: add missing include]
Cassandra uses the DataOutput / DataInput interfaces and related classes
(DataOutputPlus, DataOutputStream, AbstractDataOutput, etc.) to serialize
primitive types - integers of various lengths, strings, etc, as part of
various inter-node messages, and so on.
This patch implements similar primitive type serialization/deserialization
in C++. The interface is quite different, but the functionality is the same
and so is the serialized format. The fact that the format is identical
(I verified this) is important, because we want a C++ node to be able to
communicate with a Java node.
