Re: [infinispan-dev] Externalizer in AtomicHashMap needed?

Hi, I'm playing with partial object's state transfer, similar to how AtomicHashMap/AtomicHashMapDelta works. The purpose of these classes is, among other things, to show that for objects large in size we can transfer just the updated part of them, not whole objects. I tried to implement DeltaAware and Delta interfaces and my tests showed that only methods of the delta object's externalizer were called. Not methods of the externalizer of the actual object holding the data. To be precise - I have two classes: Bicycle implements DeltaAware (similar to AtomicHashMap) BicycleDelta implements Delta (similar to AtomicHashMapDelta) ...and only BicycleDelta's externalizer's methods were called. Not those of Bicycle's externalizer. This brings me to AtomicHashMap... is the externalizer for this class ever used/needed?
