Interface SerializationProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AvroSerializationProvider, JavaSerializationSerializationProvider

public interface SerializationProvider

Provides access to a serializer and deserializer to send the necessary work load for remote backends over the wire.

Note: Providers are encouraged to offer a backward and forward compatible protocol.

Before the actual serialized flux, two bytes are reserved:

• majorVersion
• minorVersion

A major version increase implies an incompatible protocol change. Messages of a majorVersion > current version should be refused. A minor version increase implies a compatible protocol change. Messages of a minorVersion > current version are parsed, but new operation will be ignored or rejected. If message's major version is < current version, then the implementation is strongly encouraged to parse and process them. It is mandatory if only message's code minor version is < current version.

Implementors are encouraged to implement a descriptive toString() method for logging purposes.
