<!--
*Thank you very much for contributing to Apache Avro - we are happy that you
want to help us improve Avro. To help the community review your contribution in
the best possible way, please go through the checklist below, which will get
the contribution into a shape in which it can be best reviewed.*
*Please understand that we do not do this to make contributions to Avro a
hassle. In order to uphold a high standard of quality for code contributions,
while at the same time managing a large number of contributions, we need
contributors to prepare the contributions well, and give reviewers enough
contextual information for the review. Please also understand that
contributions that do not follow this guide will take longer to review and thus
typically be picked up with lower priority by the community.*
## Contribution Checklist
- Fill out the template below to describe the changes contributed by the
pull request. That will give reviewers the context they need to do the review.
- Make sure that the change passes the automated tests. You can [build the
entire project](https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/BUILD.md) or just
the [language-specific
SDK](https://avro.apache.org/project/how-to-contribute/#unit-tests).
- Each pull request should address only one issue, not mix up code from
multiple issues.
- Each commit in the pull request has a meaningful commit message
(including the JIRA id)
- Every commit message references Jira issues in their subject lines. In
addition, commits follow the guidelines from [How to write a good git commit
message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
1. Subject is separated from body by a blank line
1. Subject is limited to 50 characters (not including Jira issue
reference)
1. Subject does not end with a period
1. Subject uses the imperative mood ("add", not "adding")
1. Body wraps at 72 characters
1. Body explains "what" and "why", not "how"

## What is the purpose of the change
Serde's `Serializer` trait has a hint for dictating when a format will be
["human
readable"](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serializer.html#method.is_human_readable)
or not. This allows implementers of the `Serialize` trait to define whether
they want a compact representation of data.
I need this change so that I can ensure timestamps are either rfc 3389
string or millisecond integers depending on avro/json.
## Verifying this change
This is a trivial change, **However** it is strictly a semver major change
based upon serde's documentation and so should not be merged until a major
version bump.
