What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR adds Encoders.javaSerialization to connect.
It does this by creating an encoder that does not really encode data, but that transforms into something that can be encoded. This is also useful for situations in which we want to define custom serialization logic.
This PR is also a stepping stone for adding Kryo based serialization.
Why are the changes needed?
This change increases parity between the connect and classic scala interfaces.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Added tests for both Arrow and Expression encoders.
Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
