--------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
