How to change the serializer/deserializer to be used by Aerospike?

Question

I am using java client of aerospike. I wish to change the serializer that aerospike uses for java objects i.e. java serializer.
I intend to use other faster serialization libraries e.g. PROTOSTUFF/AVRO.

How do i set my custom serializer for use by aerospike client.

I am also using Spring in my project (if that can help in anyway).

Also, point me to some benchmarks (if available) for different serializers used with aerospike client.

For all the non-native data types (of aerospike), Aerospike Java client depends on Serializable interface to serialise the Java object. So, you can wrap your object/data in a custom class which implements the Serializable interface. You can call your preferred encoder/decoder from that custom class.
