Hi all -- I created a ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19176>regarding a proposal to add a new message-payload serialization method to StateFul Functions, based on ScalaPB. This would be very similar to the existing support for protobuf serialization based on code generated for Java. Would this be something the community would be interested in? Any feedback is welcome.
My apologies for the formatting in the ticket, I added hyperlinks to some code that would be involved in the implementation, but the links don't seem to be rendering properly. Thanks, Galen Warren
