Peter Vary created FLINK-34228:
----------------------------------
Summary: Add long UTF serializer/deserializer
Key: FLINK-34228
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-34228
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Peter Vary
DataOutputSerializer.writeUTF has a hard limit on the length of the string
(64k). This is inherited from the DataOutput.writeUTF method, where the JDK
specifically defines this limit [1].
For our use-case we need to enable the possibility to serialize longer UTF
strings, so we will need to define a writeLongUTF method with a similar
specification than the writeUTF, but without the length limit.
Based on the discussion on the mailing list, this is a good additional
serialization utility to Flink [2]
