Hey Sean,

Sounds good to me. At least, it's not worse than any versions prior to
2.3.0 which has a global ScalaReflectionLock. In addition, if someone hits
a performance regression caused by this, they probably are creating too
many Encoders. Reusing Encoders is a better solution for this case.

Best regards,
Shixiong
