Any ideas on the standard way ( or any roundabout way ) of doing a version
upgrade that looks back ward compatible.
The @FieldSerializer.Optional("0") actually does ignore the field ( even
if reset ) giving it the default value if kyro is used. It has to do with
the FieldSerializer behaves . There is another Serializer ( Composite I
believe ) that allows for such back ward compatible changes.
I know some work is being done in 1.6 to allow for above use case and I
think Google Data Flow does provide some avenues.
Thanks much
