Hi Daniel, I've implemented a macro that generates message pack serializers in our codebase. Resulting code is basically a series of writes\reads like in hand-written structured serialization.
E.g. given case class Data1(str: String, subdata: Data2) case class Data2(num: Int) serialization code for Data1 will be like: packer.packString(str) packer.packInt(num) The data structures in our project are quite big (2-4kb in json) and contain nested classes with many fields. So custom serialization helps us to avoid reflection and reduces data size to send over the network. However, it worth mentioning, I see that on small case classes Flink default serialization works faster.
