Github user zwoop commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/788 Hmmm, this code looks overly complicated already to begin with :-/. Why is RefCountCacheSerializer a template class? It's tightly coupled with HostDB it seems, and is only used to contain HostDBInfo? If we are going to clean this up, I'd strongly suggest not using templates just because. I know this isn't your fault James (in any way), and you are trying to make it better, but this is not good. That much said, I'm ok with the refactoring, it's making it a bit better (but I still don't like this :). As someone smart said, this is premature generalization.
