Interface Binarylizable

All Known Implementing Classes:

IgfsPath, IgfsPathSummary, IgniteUuid

public interface Binarylizable

Interface that allows to implement custom serialization logic for binary objects. IgniteObject is not required to implement this interface, in which case Ignite will automatically serialize binary objects using reflection.

This interface, in a way, is analogous to Externalizable interface, which allows users to override default serialization logic, usually for performance reasons. The only difference here is that binary serialization is already very fast and implementing custom serialization logic for binary does not provide significant performance gains.
