     * The following methods are customized for the requirement of Dubbo's RPC protocol implementation. Legacy protocol
     * implementation will try to write Map, Throwable and Null value directly to the stream, which does not meet the
     * restrictions of all serialization protocols.
     *
     * 
     * See how ProtobufSerialization, KryoSerialization implemented these methods for more details.
     * 
     *
     * The binding of RPC protocol and biz serialization protocol is not a good practice. Encoding of RPC protocol
     * should be highly independent and portable, easy to cross platforms and languages, for example, like the http headers,
     * restricting the content of headers / attachments to Ascii strings and uses ISO_8859_1 to encode them.
