Description

Currently, collections results are serialized to json string and send that way. This doesn't feel right at all for the binary protocol and we should use a simple binary serialization of the collection instead.

For the thrift protocol, we might want to keep the json serialization or use the same binary serialization. I don't really have much opinion.
