I'm working on a way to use code generation to generate custom Tuples when the Schema is known. There is a serialization benefit because you can just write your primitives and objects directly without having to write the byte type, since you know what it is. However, since that logic has to live in the generated code, it can't currently leverage logic in BinInterSedes because it is all private, and I don't want to go through write(DataOutput, Object, byte) for everything when the specific method I want already exists... which has led to me having to duplicate code for the serialization of byte[]s and Strings and such. 2012/4/6 Gianmarco De Francisci Morales <g...@apache.org> > Well, those methods are really specific to the serialization format defined > by BinInterSedes. > How do you envision those methods to be used by other classes without using > the public ones? > Which classes are you thinking about? > > Cheers, > -- > Gianmarco > > > > On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 08:48, Jonathan Coveney <jcove...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > The vast majority don't use any state, and could be potentially useful to > > other classes that want to do serialization. > > > > I guess the other way to take it is that the logic of those classes > should > > be put into BinInterSedes, but this isn't always reasonable or desirable. > > > > Thoughts?
