I understand that POF is needed if you are using C++ and .Net clients. However, what are the factors that can help decide whether to use POF for Java clients using Oracle Coherence cache?
As per the Oracle documentation, POF gives performance benefit over default java serialization. So, why don't all applications using Coherence go for POF instead of Java serialization?
Serialization is the process of encoding an object into a binary format. It is a critical component when working with Coherence as data must be moved around the network.
In-memory data grid enables application developers and managers fast access to key-value data. Coherence ensures for customers maximum scalability and performance in enterprise applications by providing clustered low-latency data storage, polyglot grid computing, and asynchronous event streaming.
To serialize an object means to convert its state to a byte stream so that the byte stream can be reverted back into a copy of the object. A Java object is serializable if its class or any of its superclasses implements either the java. io. Serializable interface or its subinterface, java.
From my understanding:
Java serialisation
Advantages
Disadvantages
POF serialisation
Also, you could look at the various serialisation schemas: JSON, XML, Protocol Buffers, Avro, Thrift, etc. In longer term, they may offer these advantages:
