By permitting applications to pass arbitrary > metadata to Serializations, they can get more control over which > Serialization is used, and would also allow, for example, one to pass an Avro > schema to an Avro Serialization. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
