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

(was: Introduce new serdes interfaces with empty configure() and close())
> Make Serializer, Deserializer and Serde be functional interface
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-6161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6161
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients, streams
> Reporter: Evgeny Veretennikov
> Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> {{Serializer}}, {{Deserializer}} and {{Serde}} interfaces have methods
> {{configure()}} and {{close()}}. Pretty often one want to leave these methods
> empty. For example, a lot of serializers inside
> {{org.apache.kafka.common.serialization}} package have these methods empty:
> {code}
> @Override
> public void configure(Map<String, ?> configs, boolean isKey) {
> // nothing to do
> }
> @Override
> public void close() {
> // nothing to do
> }
> {code}
> To avoid such boilerplate, we may create new interfaces (like
> {{UnconfiguredSerializer}}), in which we will define these methods empty.
