    Hi everyone,

    Putting forward the proposal to backport GEODE-9091 (Serialization 
Improvements) to support/1.14 branch,

    What does GEODE-9091 do?

      *   It adds serialVersionUID to the Serializable classes in geode-redis 
module
      *   It converts all DataSerializable classes to DataSerializableFixedID 
classes

    Why do we need to backport these changes?

      *   These changes future-proofs the geode-redis data structures from 
being used in mixed version clusters.
      *   This will ensure that changes to serializable classes do not break 
backward compatibility.
      *   If these classes get changed in the future, the serialVersionUIDs 
will remain the same and can be used with older and newer versions.
      *   If we don't backport these changes to 1.14.0 then future releases of 
geode-redis will not be compatible with it.
