Description

In a stream request, the client should send a RaftClientRequest (without data) as the header so that the state machine at the server can process the request as a normal RaftClientRequest.

We may consider using Protobuf to encode RaftClientRequest. The raw data will be streamed after the RaftClientRequest.
