@dalaro -- your explanation of the problem in JIRA is impeccable. I now I
remember why "just extending `SparkSerializer`" was not an option. TinkerPop's
Kryo is shaded. Your concept of a shim to abstract both shaded Kryo to be used
by unshaded Kryo systems is smart. Looking at the code specifically,
unfortunately, its hard to review and understand the full ramifications of what
you are providing. I can run the integration test suite and all that, but
perhaps you could also answer some questions as well.
**Note that I haven't looked at this code in over 6 months so my questions
may be a little odd sounding.**
1. I never liked `HadoopPools`. I have a sneaking suspicion that they may
not work with custom class registration and I we really should have a test case
in there to prove yay or nay. Does your work either make `HadoopPools` "better"
or no longer needed? (Also think about `GiraphGraphComputer` which uses
`HadoopPools`).
2. Moving forward, would people still use `GryoSerializer` or is it
recommended that they use `SparkSerializer`? How would your work effect our
docs and does `GryoSerializer` become deprecated?
3. I noticed you moved around the serialization code for `StarGraph`. That
is fine, but I'm wondering, did you change the serialization of `StarGraph`?
That is, did the `byte[]` format change? If so, thats bad for backwards
compatibility.
Finally, your PR is beautiful. You JavaDoc like a king and you prove your
worth as emperor with `package-info.java`. Thank you for your efforts in a part
of the codebase that I wrote with a looming lack of confidence. You have
brought a level of Java skill/technique to a long standing problem that is
inspiring.
