Description

HazelcastSessionRepository currently relies on standard Java serialization, which isn't the ideal option performance wise. We should look into leveraging Hazelcast's serialization mechanism like DataSerializable which should yield a nice performance improvement.

Research direction

Start by locating the HazelcastSessionRepository implementation and reading how it currently performs Java serialization. Then investigate the available Hazelcast serialization mechanism, including DataSerializable, and identify the tests or benchmarks that cover session serialization. Done means an agreed approach is implemented and its performance or behavior is verified.
