Class SerializedValue<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.util.SerializedValue<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the value held.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

@Internal
public class SerializedValue<T>
extends Object
implements Serializable

This class is used to transfer (via serialization) objects whose classes are not available in the system class loader. When those objects are deserialized without access to their special class loader, the deserialization fails with a ClassNotFoundException. To work around that issue, the SerializedValue serialized data immediately into a byte array. When send through RPC or another service that uses serialization, only the byte array is transferred. The object is deserialized later (upon access) and requires the accessor to provide the corresponding class loader.
