Snowflake deserialization uses
serde::de::Deserializer deserialize_any
method, which may not be provided by some formats and according the documentation should not be relied on. This for example causesUserID
fail to serialize withbincode
, effectively preventing storing it innative_db
.Currently
serde
seems not to support easy way to determinate ifdeserialize_any
is supported or not. Althoughis_human_readable
is provided for bothSerializer
andDeserializer
traits.This PR bypasses requirement of having
deserialize_any
available, by serializing and deserializing Snowflake values asu64
for non human-readable formats. This additionally optimizes its storage size for such formats.
