| originalSize | Original size of the binary data, before encryption and/or zipping. This is what the ultimate client will get | UInt | |
| blobSize | The length, in bytes, of the binary data AS STORED after any encryption and/or zipping. Important to get right, since some databases will not tell us just based on the blob itself! | UInt | |

| isEncrypted | Has the data been encrypted (support for this will come in HDB) | Bool | |
