/**
* Indicate that this class should be serialized with an instance of the given {@link Externalizer} class.
*
* Any externalizer type referred by this annotation must be either {@link java.io.Serializable} or {@link
* java.io.Externalizable} because the marshalling infrastructure will ship an instance of the externalizer to any node
* that's no aware of this externalizer, hence allowing for dynamic externalizer discovery.

* @deprecated since 10.0, will be removed in a future release. Please configure a {@link
* org.infinispan.protostream.SerializationContextInitializer} and utilise ProtoStream annotations on Java objects instead, or
* specify a custom {@link Marshaller} implementation via the SerializationConfiguration.
