Hold on. protobufs do not work that way! They don’t have their own framing. That’s why recordio was invented, and countless other ways to bundle them up so you know what type they are, how long they are, and all of that other stuff. The actual binary encoding of the protobuf itself is bare bones! So what’s up with this length byte?
