Method Details

readFrom

T readFrom(MessageMarshaller.ProtoStreamReader reader)
    throws IOException

Read the fields written by writeTo(ProtoStreamWriter, Object). Should read them in the exact same order as were written to ensure maximum performance. Not obeying the order will lead to poor performance and will cause warnings to be logged but will still work.

Throws:

IOException

writeTo

void writeTo(MessageMarshaller.ProtoStreamWriter writer,
 T t)
      throws IOException

Write the fields defined in the schema. Please establish a consistent order and always write them in the same order. Two common choices for ordering field writes are schema definition order and field number order.

Throws:

IOException
