reset

default void reset()

Releases any thread-local resources held by this serializer for the current thread. Implementations that use ThreadLocal storage (e.g. KryoSerializer) should override this method to call ThreadLocal.remove() and prevent ClassLoader pinning / Metaspace leaks in web-container environments (Tomcat, etc.) where container threads are reused across redeployments. Callers (e.g. a ServletContextListener) should invoke this method for each thread that has used the serializer before the application is stopped.
