I think the only way to preserver backwards compatibility here is to add a new coder and also add an opt-in mechanism for users to select this new coder. It may be worth considering making this coder more extensible so this doesn't happen in the future (e.g. storing the values as a key-value map and ignoring unknown fields, which is less efficient but probably doesn't matter for this coder vs. the chances that we'll want to add a new field in the future.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
