Why bitmap in AccumulatorProof and SparseMerkleProof has different type?

Libra Core
#1

in message AccumulatorProof

uint64 bitmap = 1;

in message SparseMerkleProof

bytes bitmap = 2;

#2

The accumulator index only has a 64-bit range, while the Sparse Merkle tree has a 256-bit key.

#3

Thanks.

We just finished the verification of AccumulatorProof and SparseMerkleProof in libra-client. It’s a really complicated task.
