Interface StreamSerializer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the serialized object

All Superinterfaces:

Serializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProtobufSerializer

public interface StreamSerializer<T>
extends Serializer

A base class for custom serialization. User can register custom serializer like following:

     final SerializerConfig serializerConfig = new SerializerConfig();
     serializerConfig.setImplementation(new StreamSerializer<Person>() {
          public int getTypeId() {

          }

          public void destroy() {

          }

          public void write(ObjectDataOutput out, Person object) throws IOException {

          }

          public Person read(ObjectDataInput in) throws IOException {

          });

     serializerConfig.setTypeClass(Person.class);
     config.getSerializationConfig().addSerializerConfig(serializerConfig);

 

There is another class with byte arrays can be used instead ıf this interface see ByteArraySerializer.

C++ and C# clients also have compatible methods so that with custom serialization client can also be used

Note that read and write methods should be compatible
