Help Jackson with Guava Deserializers
paulmarcelinbejan opened this issue · comments
1. What are you trying to do?
It is not possible to read an object with a Table as a field from Kafka since behind the scenes, spring framework uses Jackson to deserialize objects, and at the moment there are a lot of Guava Data Types that are not handled by Jackson
2. What's the best code you can write to accomplish that without the new feature?
I have switched from Guava Table to Map<C, Map<R, V>>
3. What would that same code look like if we added your feature?
probably something like:
public HashBasedTable(Map<R, Map<C, V>> table);
(Optional) What would the method signatures for your feature look like?
No response
Concrete Use Cases
I need to deserialize an object that has a Table as a field.
The serialization is already implemented.

This issue looks a lot like #6893. Is there anything that blocks Jackson from implementing the missing deserialization support?
(Related Jackson ticket: FasterXML/jackson-datatypes-collections#1. CC @cowtowncoder.)
It does seem to me that the proper path forward is for Jackson to implement a deserializer for Guava's ImmutableTable rather than to introduce a public constructor.
Agreed: I don't think there is anything Guava should need to add (besides, any new addition would be for latest Guava and Jackson module is designed to work with a wide range of Guava versions so cannot rely on latest).
Someone just needs to take time to write a Jackson JsonDeserializer for Table type.
OK, thanks for confirming. I'll go ahead and close this issue then.
And thank you, @paulmarcelinbejan, for thinking about ways to make the experience of using Guava easier!
