Daniyar Yeralin commented on KAFKA-8326: ---------------------------------------- TODO: once implementation is finalized and approved proceed with writing test cases for List Serde > Add List<T> Serde > ----------------- > > Key: KAFKA-8326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8326 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients, streams > Reporter: Daniyar Yeralin > Priority: Minor > > I propose adding serializers and deserializers for the java.util.List class. > I have many use cases where I want to set the key of a Kafka message to be a > UUID. Currently, I need to turn UUIDs into strings or byte arrays and use > their associated Serdes, but it would be more convenient to serialize and > deserialize UUIDs directly. > I believe there are many use cases where one would want to have a List serde. > Ex. > [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41427174/aggregate-java-objects-in-a-list-with-kafka-streams-dsl-windows], > > [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46365884/issue-with-arraylist-serde-in-kafka-streams-api] > > KIP Link: > [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-466%3A+Add+support+for+List%3CT%3E+serialization+and+deserialization] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
