Kryo wrapper #2

Open jankotek opened 8 years ago

MapDB should have some level of compatibility with Kryo 3.0. It should be possible to:

1) plug kryo serializer into Elsa serialization

2) Use Elsa as Kryo serializer, so frameworks which already use Kryo could also use Elsa.

Either this will be added into separate project. Or distributed in Elsa Jar and Kryo would become compile time dependency.

Why aren't you using Kryo for serialization? What was the reason behind to have your own?

jankotek commented 8 years ago

Elsa (part of mapdb) and Kryo started around the same time. I also believe elsa is faster and more space efficient in some cases.
