Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The DUMP command serializes a value at a specified key and dumps the serialized value to the client. The serialized value can then be deserialized and stored using the RESTORE command.

Currently, Garnet supports the DUMP & RESTORE commands for string values only. We're looking for help implementing this command for all other supported object types (Set, SortedSet, HashSet, List).

Describe the solution you'd like

Extend implementation of DUMP and RESTORE command in Garnet to support objects.

References:
Serialization format specification.
Existing DUMP and RESTORE code in KeyAdminCommands.cs (see: NetworkDUMP and NetworkRESTORE)

There are certain bugs/features that are of more interest to me right now... I recall @PaulusParssinen was already working on a RDB implementation?

He was... I think he punted it as he didn't have time if I recall correctly. All good!

It's up for grabs. I did get started but not far enough to tell others to wait for me. Life keeping busy at the moment 😓
