serializerSettings with v3 client

[coffeymatt]

In the previous v2 version I could pass serializer settings to the client. With the new v3 client, it's not so clear how to do that

So I could do something like:

var serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings { NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore };

this.client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(this.options.CosmosDbEndPoint), this.options.CosmosDbKey, serializerSettings: serializerSettings);

How do I do this with v3? I've had a look at the docs and the API, I can see an options object with a serializer parameter on it, but I can't figure out how I could configure it as above?

@coffeymatt we removed settings and added the ability to have completely custom serializers in v3.

CosmosClientOptions.Serializer

This is the SDK's default serializer.

@j82w This seems like one step forward, two steps backward. Should you not provide some mechanism to provide settings the default serializer?

Otherwise what I can do with one line of code above now will require me to create a custom serializer.

That's a good point. I don't see any reason that can't be supported. I created an issue to add it.
