- Method Detail
  - flushSerializeBuffer
```
void flushSerializeBuffer()
```
    Request to flush serialization buffer. This call will block until buffer is not flushed. To be called when buffer is out of space.
  - ensureBuffer
```
void ensureBuffer(int size)
```
    Ensures that the specified number of bytes can be serialized, flushing if necessary.
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - the number of bytes
  - alignBuffer
```
void alignBuffer(int alignment)
```
    Align buffer. Note that this takes care only current buffer alignment. If streaming protocol is used, care must be taken that entire stream is aligned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    alignment - size in bytes, must be power of two
  - cachedSerialize
```
void cachedSerialize(Field field,
                     ByteBuffer buffer)
```
    Serialize Field instance via cache.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - Field instance to be serialized
    
    buffer - the buffer to be serialized to
