---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.8.0
> Inefficient PojoSerializerConfigSnapshot serialization format
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6763

> Reporter: Till Rohrmann

> Priority: Major

>
> The {{PojoSerializerConfigSnapshot}} stores for each serializer the beginning
> offset and ending offset in the serialization stream. This information is
> also written if the serializer serialization is supposed to be ignored. The
> beginning and ending offsets are stored as a sequence of integers at the
> beginning of the serialization stream. We store this information to skip
> broken serializers.
> I think we don't need both offsets. Instead I would suggest to write the
> length of the serialized serializer first into the serialization stream and
> then the serialized serializer. This can be done in
> {{TypeSerializerSerializationUtil.writeSerializer}}. When reading the
> serializer via {{TypeSerializerSerializationUtil.tryReadSerializer}}, we can
> try to deserialize the serializer. If this operation fails, then we can skip
> the number of serialized serializer because we know how long it was.
