KeyedMessage question

Hi team,

For the message type in KeyedMessage, I can use String or byte[].
Is there any difference in terms of the actual data transferred?



Regards,

Libo

Not really. If you use a String key, you will have to use a StringEncoder
for the key serializer. The key serializer turns any key into a byte array.

Thanks,
Neha
