However, rather than marking individual fields in model POJO as included or not, it would be better to have a custom `JsonSerializer` implementation and have this logic to include fields we want in it. Similar to [SystemStreamPartitionSerializer](https://github.com/apache/samza/blob/master/samza-core/src/main/java/org/apache/samza/serializers/model/SamzaObjectMapper.java#L203) What do you think? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
