> The Serialization framework only allows a class to be passed as metadata.
> This assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between types and Serializations,
> which is overly restrictive. By permitting applications to pass arbitrary
> metadata to Serializations, they can get more control over which
> Serialization is used, and would also allow, for example, one to pass an Avro
> schema to an Avro Serialization.
