ArrayList sublcass serialization issue

[pveentjer]

The following example shows the problem:

public class Main  {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        HazelcastInstance hz = Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance();
        IMap<String,Employees> map = hz.getMap("foo");
        map.put("1", new Employees());

        Employees employees = map.get("1");
        System.out.println(employees);
    }

    static class Employees extends ArrayList {

    }
}

The following exception is thrown:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to com.hazelcast.Main$Employees
    at com.hazelcast.Main.main(Main.java:19)

@asimarslan Did we solved this problem with your last changes ? I remember some related parts.

Note: @pveentjer Serialization is in client team responsibility, I have added CLIENT label to issue.

This is a more extended problem about class serializer search. I'll add a section in design doc in the latest serializer improvement

@asimarslan is there an update or should we move this to 3.7 ?
