/*
 * KeyList represents a set of payloads each identified by a key  and "valid" at given time
 * Usually these payloads are configuration objects loaded in anvance
 * The model used here calls for all payloads to be "stored" in a single IOVSequence each identified by a unique key 
 * (properly hashed to be mapped in 64bits)
 *
 * the keylist is just a vector of the hashes each corresponding to a key
 * the correspondence position in the vector user-friendly name is kept in 
 * a list of all "names" that is defined in advance and kept in a dictionary at IOVSequence level
