abstract
--------

prototype work to integrate an avro protocol handler to netty.

note: both the avro and netty clients work with the netty server

todo
----

  move ByteBuffer accumulation down to client/server handler
  refactor avro client
  add post-handshake responder/reflector delegate instantiators
  netty could likely be used for more lower level networking
