AvroSerializer (Solace Avro SERDES for Java 1.0.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.solace.serdes.common.AbstractSerializer<T,org.apache.avro.Schema>
- - com.solace.serdes.avro.AvroSerializer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of object to be serialized. Should be castable to either a GenericRecord or SpecificRecord

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.solace.serdes.Serializer<T>, Closeable, AutoCloseable
```
public class AvroSerializer<T>
extends AbstractSerializer<T,org.apache.avro.Schema>
```
An Avro serializer that converts objects of type T into byte arrays. Configuration properties can be found in AvroProperties and SerdeProperties.
AvroSerializer does not support non-header encoding of schema ID. Must use AbstractSerializer.serialize(String, Object, Map) to ensure the schema ID is available for encoding. Using AbstractSerializer.serialize(String, Object) will not provide the schema ID.
Note: A Vertx connection will be made when configuring this AvroSerializer. Vertx threads are non-daemon and will prevent JVM exit, so always remember to call AbstractSerializer.close().
