Description

The protobuf based client/server project is essentially dead but code for it is still part of geode.
This complicates the implementation. For example I was working on an improvement to have the thread monitor detect stuck server connection threads and found myself trying to figure out how to make this work for ProtobufServerConnection.
I think it would be best to remove the dead protobuf code. I'm not sure what all of it is but here is what I have found so far:
ProtobufServerConnection
package org.apache.geode.internal.cache.client.protocol
package org.apache.geode.internal.protocol.protobuf.v1
