Purpose:
A serializer is responsible for converting ProducerRecord body objects to a memptr. The
bytes referenced by the memptr are passed to the messaging implementation.
There is no prescribed format for sending a message. The serializer
may return an empty memptr, but cannot return an UNKNOWN value. Doing so
will cause the producer to raise an error.
