Hi All, I have a question about the inMemoryKeyValue store. I was under the assumption that in-memory stores would not serialize the objects but when I looked into the implementation I see InMemoryKeyValueStore uses a NavigableMap of bytes which indicates the user objects have to be serialized and stored.
Am I missing something? Wouldn't this cause more serialization overhead for storing something in memory? In my case I have a punctuator which reads all the entries in the state store and forwards the data. When there are around 10k entries it takes about 400ms to complete. I was trying to optimize this problem. I use kryo serde and the objects are bigger in size (approx 500 bytes). Regards, Navneeth
