's serializers' work includes handling subclasses (like cuML'sArray
). However it doesn't handle any keyword arguments those subclass constructors may need. This changes that by adding an optional (by default trivial) "constructor-kwargs" header. Subclasses can then call their parents' serializer and pack this header with relevant content afterwards. This way during deserialization this content can be passed into the subclass' constructor.cc @dantegd
