      Work Description: alexvanboxel commented on issue #8496: [BEAM-5967] Add 
handling of DynamicMessage in ProtoCoder
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/8496#issuecomment-491693602
 
 
   @reuvenlax @kennknowles if upgradeability is a problem I think I handled 
this correctly, please note this extract from the serialization spec:
   
   > 5.6.2 Compatible Changes
   > Adding writeObject/readObject methods - If the version reading the stream 
has these methods then readObject is expected, as usual, to read the required 
data written to the stream by the default serialization. It should call 
defaultReadObject first before reading any optional data. The writeObject 
method is expected as usual to call defaultWriteObject to write the required 
data and then may write optional data.
   
   ref: 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/platform/serialization/spec/version.html
   
   This is why:
   
   1. on line 285 the descriptor is added `transient`
   2. on line 303 the `writeObject` (and `readObject`) as added as in the spec 
(compatible)
   3. on line 304 the `oos.defaultWriteObject();` is added as in the spec 
(compatible)
   4. on line 305 writing the `Descriptor` **only** kicks in when the Class is 
`DynamicMessage`. Note that we will have no one that will have a pipeline 
running with `DynamicMessage`. This is because `DynamicMessage` doesn't have a 
`getDescriptor()` without arguments.

>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: sdk-java-core
>    Affects Versions: 2.8.0
>            Reporter: Alex Van Boxel
>            Assignee: Alex Van Boxel

> The ProtoCoder does make some assumptions about static messages being 
> available. The DynamicMessage doesn't have some of them, mainly because the 
> proto schema is defined at runtime and not at compile time.
> Does it make sense to make a special coder for DynamicMessage or build it 
> into the normal ProtoCoder.
> Here is an example of the assumtion being made in the current Codec:
> {code:java}
> try {
>   @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
>   T protoMessageInstance = (T) 
> protoMessageClass.getMethod("getDefaultInstance").invoke(null);
>   @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
>   Parser<T> tParser = (Parser<T>) protoMessageInstance.getParserForType();
>   memoizedParser = tParser;
> } catch (IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException | 
> NoSuchMethodException e) {
>   throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
> }
> {code}
