Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-81:
--------------------------------
Attachment: freezer.diff
The freezer.diff patch adds Lucy::Util::Freezer, which provides two utility
routines for serializing arbitrary objects: FREEZE(Obj, OutStream) and
THAW(InStream). These work by first prepending the class name to the
serialized data, then using that class name on thaw to find the right
deserialization function.

> Key: LUCY-81
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY-81
> Project: Lucy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Marvin Humphrey
> Assignee: Marvin Humphrey
> Attachments: bytebuf_serialization.diff, charbuf_serialization.diff,
> freezer.diff, obj_serialize.diff
>
>
> Objects are serialized to OutStreams and deserialized from InStreams. Hooks
> are provided for the Perl core serialization module Storable, so that e.g.
> Storable::freeze($query) works as expected; hopefully it will prove practical
> to hook into canonical serialization routines for other hosts as well.
> The primary utility for serialization is communication between machines within
> search clusters, so all classes that may need to be sent across the network
> will eventually get serialization routines. However, only Lucy installations
> with exactly the same version can be guaranteed to serialize and deserialize
> each others data; rolling updates are not supported.
