--------------------------------------------------------------
I understand the "Serde" class itself is a Streams class. I use the SerDe term
loosely to mean serializer/deserializer.
I wasn't trying to imply that there needed to be "how to (de)serialize to
datatype X,Y,Z", maybe just mention some popular options, and say something
along the lines of "as long one can translate a datatype into bytes, it can be
transferred with Kafka."
My main point was that the while the Serde class itself is specific to Streams
API, the mention of custom Serializers (and the SerDe classes that are already
implemented, which wrap their respective serializer&deserializers) seems
"hidden" under the Streams docs page; on the "front page", I'm only able to
find the term "serializer" in the config sections, and it's not really clear
what needs to be done to implement a custom one. E.g. saying "a class that
implements the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer interface", 1)
really only applies to JVM-based clients, 2) doesn't specifically mention that
the Serializer needs to return byte[] and Deserializer converts from byte[]
Like I said, though, maybe that is implicitly said/known already in some other
section of the docs?
