Though, wouldn't this be a shortcoming also for our long-term solution, where we want to have separate interfaces for "deserialization" and "enrichment"? ``` I have no problem with the first alternative, but I think we are better of when we throw an exception with a message explaining that must implement/override one of the deserialize methods. ``` I'm not sure how this would work. Could you elaborate a bit more on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
