Hi Lian, sorry for the late reply.
1. All serialization related functions are just implementation of API interfaces. As such, you can implement serializers yourself. In this case, you could simply copy the code from 1.12 into your application. You may adjust a few things that are different between 1.11 and 1.12 though. 2. enableObjectReuse avoids copying of records between chained operators. The chain ends with any keyby. A possible workaround is to enableObjectReuse and then convert the datum with logical types into a datum without logical types if possible (potentially dropping a few fields to reduce network traffic along the way).
