Description

We represent message instances in BDB as a tuple comprising a key (formed of queue id and message id) and a dummy record (currently formed of 1 byte). The reason why we chose to store a single byte dummy byte is unclear as JE supports zero length values. Storing of the single byte will be causing an unnecessary overhead and should be removed.

There is no need for a store version change.
