---------------------------------------

Your first example is missing the read/writeExternal methods.

Oups, I forgot to copy&paste it. It's in the attached patch file though.

I think the proposed approach is rather heavy-weight
{quote}
Really? In case we go the Externalizable way anyway, then I think this
approach doesn't add too much overhead. You only need to add init()
and move the deserialization code from readExternal() to the reader's
readExternal. It's really not too much more code.
And, the code changes are straightforward when the class changes. No
need to worry about how to initialize newly added variables if an old
version is read for example.
What I think will be the most work is documenting and explaining
this. But this would be an expert API, so probably people who really
need to use it are most likely looking into the sources anyway.
But for the record: I'm totally fine with using Serializable and just
adding the serialVersionUID. Just if we use Externalizable, we might
want to consider something like this to avoid new backwards-
compatibility requirements.

> Components: Search
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Jason Rutherglen
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: custom-externalizable-reader.patch, LUCENE-1473.patch,

> Original Estimate: 8h
> Remaining Estimate: 8h

> To maintain serialization compatibility between Lucene versions,
> serialVersionUID needs to be added to classes that implement
> java.io.Serializable. java.io.Externalizable may be implemented in classes
> for faster performance.
