SerializerHook (Hazelcast Root 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT API)

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the serialized object

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProtobufSerializerHook
```
public interface SerializerHook<T>
```
This interface is used to automatically register serializers from external Hazelcast or user modules.
Both types of Serializers are supported: StreamSerializer and ByteArraySerializer. The serializers need to be registered using a file named "com.hazelcast.SerializerHook" in META-INF/services. Those services files are not registered using the standard Java 6+ ServiceLoader, but with a Hazelcast version that is capable of working with multiple class loaders to support JEE and OSGi environments.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default Serializer`	`createSerializer()`	Creates a new serializer for the serialization type
`default Serializer`	`createSerializer(com.hazelcast.internal.serialization.SerializationService serializationService)`	Creates a new serializer for the serialization type
`java.lang.Class<T>`	`getSerializationType()`	Returns the actual class type of the serialized object
`boolean`	`isOverwritable()`	Indicates if this serializer can be overridden by defining a custom serializer in the configurations (via code or configuration file)
