StatefulSerializer

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the instances to serialize

All Superinterfaces:

Serializer<T>
```
public interface StatefulSerializer<T>
extends Serializer<T>
```
Implementations of this interface can have their state maintained in a StateRepository. The state will be maintained by the authoritative tier of the cache for which this is configured.
Implementations must be thread-safe.
When used within the default serialization provider, there is an additional constructor requirement. The implementations must define a constructor that takes in a ClassLoader. Post instantiation, the state repository will be injected with the init method invocation. This is guaranteed to happen before any serialization/deserialization interaction.
