Don't think there is better documentation other than this: http://docs.janusgraph.org/latest/serializer.html

I did try to create my own version of an Object serializer once but I just reverted my changes and used ByteArraySerializer instead, a lot faster to unmarshall its state.

You may wanna have a look at this (org.janusgraph.graphdb.database.serialize.attribute.ObjectSerializer) or any org.janusgraph.graphdb.database.serialize.attribute.* really.

Those are the OOB implementations available, as simple as it gets, those are just marshall/unmarshall serializers.

Per my experience, those are enough for you and uber, but if you guys really wanna give it a shot, this is where you should start.

but give ByteArray a shot, it is super fast.

for those who don't know what I'm talking about, just set a vertex.property("stateAsByte", something.makeByteArray());

than you can rebuild your Object by getting it back new Something( (byte[])vertex.property("stateAsByte") ).

hope this helps,
