Java is one of the most popular languages in the enterprise and one in which many Aerospike applications are written. Aerospike’s Java client is both flexible and powerful. However, when storing Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) in Aerospike, significant amounts of boiler-plate code are necessary which can be time consuming and error prone to create and painful to maintain. This talk discusses a lightweight, efficient solution to this problem which removes the code clutter introduced by this boilerplate code and allows POJOs to be self-describing as to how they are to be stored and loaded from Aerospike.
