## What is the purpose of the change Dropping nullable-value support from `SerializedValue` to simplify its usages. Callers should resort to nullabe/optional variable of `SerializedValue` if them want such behavior but just can't treat `SerializedValue` as another optional container anymore. ## Brief change log - Migrate usage of `SerializedValue` in rpc module to its own wire value class. This make this module self-contained and resistant to rpc usages of `SerializedValue`. - Dropping nullable-value support from `SerializedValue`. ## Verifying this change This change is already covered by existing tests, such as *(please describe tests)*. * `SerializedValueTest.testSimpleValue`. This change added tests and can be verified as follows: - `SerializedValueTest.testNullValue`, `SerializedValueTest.testFromNullBytes`, `SerializedValueTest.testFromEmptyBytes` - `AkkaRpcSerializedValueTest` - `AkkaRpcActorTest.canRespondWithSerializedValueLocally`, `RemoteAkkaRpcActorTest.canRespondWithSerializedValueRemotely` ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (don't know) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
