HazelcastSerializationException thrown when putting List of objects to Hazelcast cache

Question

Given I have entity:

@Entity
public class NotificationType implements Serializable {
    // enum
    private DeliveryPriority deliveryPriority;

    private long sortOrder;

    // TimeStringInterval class implements Serializable
    private TimeStringInterval deliveryTimeWindow;

    // enum
    private DeliveryGroup deliveryGroup = DeliveryGroup.IMMEDIATE;

    protected String code;

    @Id
    public String getCode() {
        return code;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (!(o instanceof CodedEntity)) return false;
        CodedEntity<?> that = (CodedEntity<?>) o;
        return Objects.equals(getCode(), that.getCode());
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hashCode(getCode());
    }
}

and Spring Data repository in order to look up NotificationType instances

@Repository
@CacheConfig(cacheNames = NOTIFICATION_TYPE_CACHE_NAME)
public interface NotificationTypeRepository extends JpaRepository<NotificationType, String> {

    @Override
    @Cacheable
    List<NotificationType> findAll();
}

and findAll method is cacheable.

My Hazelcast config is:

@Bean(destroyMethod = "shutdown")
public HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance() {
    HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = new HazelcastInstanceFactory(hazelCastConfig()).getHazelcastInstance();
    return hazelcastInstance;
}

@Bean
public Config hazelCastConfig() {
    Config config = new Config("hazelcast")

    config.getNetworkConfig().getJoin().getMulticastConfig().setEnabled(false);
    config.getNetworkConfig().getJoin().getAwsConfig().setEnabled(false);
    config.getNetworkConfig().getJoin().getTcpIpConfig().setEnabled(true).setMembers("localhost");

    config.getSerializationConfig().setEnableCompression(true);

    LockConfig lockConfig = new LockConfig();
    lockConfig.setName("locks");
    config.addLockConfig(lockConfig);

    ListConfig listConfig = new ListConfig();
    listConfig.setName("lists");
    config.addListConfig(listConfig);

    return config;
}

When I execute findAll() and hazelcast tries to put the list into the cache, it throws the HazelcastSerializationException:

2019-01-17 16:12:20.762 ERROR --- [hz.ntf-cache.partition-operation.thread-7][][] SetOperation                             : [localhost]:5701 [ntf-cluster-1547735979367] [3.11.1] There is no suitable de-serializer for type 1921036036.

What is the reason for that exception?

How should I troubleshoot such a problem?

The exception message is very cryptic.

I was trying to debug list of objects which work and compare it to this list, but I couldn't spot any significant difference.

The issue happens locally on Windows machine, latest hazelcast version

Answer 1

I added

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

and it all started working properly.

It is also recommended in official hazelcast documentation:

To eliminate class compatibility issues, it is recommended that you add a serialVersionUID
