822996 - New type of annotations bound to result nodes

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Places, defect, P3)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Create a new annotations service, should be async and work by GUID.
The new annotations are stored in a simple table that stores all annos for a GUID in a single field.
This field has some machine-readable format to store tuples like type:name:value,type:name:value.
It should support only int32, double, string formats (no int64, no binaries for now).
when querying for a page/bookmark we also join annos on the guid and return them on the result node as a property bag.

If we will ever need things like getAllPagesWithAnno() (uses are rare) we may use an FTS index or grow an indexing table for that or try a plain LIKE.
