Fury 0.4.0 released: Graalvm native image and c++ encoder support

I’m pleased to announce the 0.4.0 release of the Fury: https://github.com/alipay/fury/releases/tag/v0.4.0 . With this release, GraalVM native image and C++ row format automatic encoder based on compile-time reflection are supported. Please try it out and share your feedbacks with us.

Highlight

• [Java] Support Graalvm native image. The implementation will generate all serialization code at image build time, the runtime will be extremely fast, see fury graalvm usage doc
• [Java] Fury vs JDK benchmark on Graalvm native image
• [Scala] Serialization support for package scoped object
• [C++] Reflection support by macro/template programing
• [C++] Automatic row format encoder

GraalVM Native Image Example

import io.fury.Fury;
import io.fury.util.Preconditions;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class Example {
  public record Record (
    int f1,
    String f2,
    List<String> f3,
    Map<String, Long> f4) {
  }

  static Fury fury;

  static {
    fury = Fury.builder().build();
    // register and generate serializer code.
    fury.register(Record.class, true);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Record record = new Record(10, "abc", List.of("str1", "str2"), Map.of("k1", 10L, "k2", 20L));
    System.out.println(record);
    byte[] bytes = fury.serialize(record);
    Object o = fury.deserialize(bytes);
    System.out.println(o);
    Preconditions.checkArgument(record.equals(o));
  }
}

Then add io.fury.graalvm.Example build time init to native-image.properties configuration:

Args = --initialize-at-build-time=io.fury.graalvm.Example
