IPartitionerDependentSerializer (apache-cassandra API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBounds.AbstractBoundsSerializer, PartitionPosition.RowPositionSerializer, Token.TokenSerializer
```
public interface IPartitionerDependentSerializer<T>
```
Versioned serializer where the serialization depends on partitioner. On serialization the partitioner is given by the entity being serialized. To deserialize the partitioner used must be known to the calling method.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`T`	`deserialize(java.io.DataInput in, IPartitioner p, int version)`	Deserialize into the specified DataInputStream instance.
`void`	`serialize(T t, DataOutputPlus out, int version)`	Serialize the specified type into the specified DataOutputStream instance.
`long`	`serializedSize(T t, int version)`	Calculate serialized size of object without actually serializing.

- Method Detail
  - serialize
```
void serialize(T t,
               DataOutputPlus out,
               int version)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Serialize the specified type into the specified DataOutputStream instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - type that needs to be serialized
    
    out - DataOutput into which serialization needs to happen.
    
    version - protocol version
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if serialization fails
  - deserialize
```
T deserialize(java.io.DataInput in,
              IPartitioner p,
              int version)
       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Deserialize into the specified DataInputStream instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - DataInput from which deserialization needs to happen.
    
    p - Partitioner that will be used to construct tokens. Needs to match the partitioner that was used to serialize the token.
    
    version - protocol version
    
    Returns:
    
    the type that was deserialized
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if deserialization fails
  - serializedSize
```
long serializedSize(T t,
                    int version)
```
    Calculate serialized size of object without actually serializing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - object to calculate serialized size
    
    version - protocol version
    
    Returns:
    
    serialized size of object t
