Serialization exception for string of length > 1024

[XieX]

When adding an object containing a string of length > 1024, I'm getting a SerializationException, "can not be converted to a Blob: Base64 encoded length is expected a multiple of 4 bytes".

I noticed the arbitrary encoding of all strings of length > 1024 as binary: https://github.com/victorquinn/dynasty/blob/master/src/lib/data-translators.coffee#L51-L57

I vote we remove all blob type serialization.

Fine by me, as long as it works!

It's not even entirely clear to me under what circumstances you'd want a Blob and a String would not suffice. (a fair amount of searching turned up nothing)

Further, it appears the fromDynamo method at the top of that file has no Blob translator either so as currently written data could be written to Dynamo but couldn't be read.

So yeah, 100% I agree remove it unless or until we can (1) find a use case (2) figure out a way to translate it to dynamo (3) figure out a way to un-translate it from dynamo
