Now is definitely the time to fix this.  Glad to have this added to blocker 
board.

        Hi everyone,

        Putting forward the proposal to backport GEODE-9091 (Serialization 
Improvements) to support/1.14 branch,

        What does GEODE-9091 do?

          *   It adds serialVersionUID to the Serializable classes in 
geode-redis module
          *   It converts all DataSerializable classes to 
DataSerializableFixedID classes

        Why do we need to backport these changes?

          *   These changes future-proofs the geode-redis data structures from 
being used in mixed version clusters.
          *   This will ensure that changes to serializable classes do not 
break backward compatibility.
          *   If these classes get changed in the future, the serialVersionUIDs 
will remain the same and can be used with older and newer versions.
          *   If we don't backport these changes to 1.14.0 then future releases 
of geode-redis will not be compatible with it.
