Serializer (Distributed Caffeine 0.2.0 API)

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the object to serialize

This is only a marker interface. If custom serializers are required, they must implement one of the following interfaces instead:
- ByteArraySerializer for serializing an object to a byte array representation
- StringSerializer for serializing an object to a string representation
- JsonSerializer for serializing an object to a JSON representation (encoded as String or BSON)
