Description

Currently, we have more that 5 classes to deal with serialized records:
1- RecordFieldUtils.
2- ARecordSerializerDeserailzer.
3- ARecordPointable.
4- ARecordVisitablePointable.
5- RecordBuilder.

Any changes in the binary layout will require to deal with all 5 classes. it would be good if we unify dealing with serialized format in one class. And all other classes use it.
