> Currently there are the following open issues regarding PDX (de)serialization:
>  * [GEODE-9968 - Fix deserialization for new fields in PdxSerializable class|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9968]
>  * [GEODE-9753 - Coredump during PdxSerializable object serialization|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9753]
>  * [GEODE-10220 - Coredump while initializing PdxType remoteToLocal|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10220]
>  * [GEODE-10255 - PdxSerializable not working correctly for multiple versions of the same class|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10255]
> Also, the implementation on this ticket ([GEODE-8212: Reduce connections to server to get type id|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8212]) poses some issues with PDX entries which fields are a permutation. Thing is that PdxTypes which fields are a permutation might use the wrong offsets, leading to a corrupt serialization. This is something that was not taken into account at the time of getting this PR merged.
> So this ticket should be reverted and possibly an alternative solution proposed.
> In order to tackle these issues, a code refactoring is needed to introduce the following implementations:
>  * Single type of PdxWriter
>  * An implementation PdxReader that tracks unread data, and other that don't.
>  * An implementation for PdxInstances that guarantees that fields are actually written in alphabetical order, independently of the writeFields call order. This should tackle the issue described above regarding GEODE-8212.
>  * Also, it'd be ideal to make it so PDX code is cleaner and easier to understand, though that's a complex matter, and also, subjective.
