/**
 * An abstract {@link TypeCodec} that maps a Java Pojo to another Java object
 * that can in turn be serialized into a CQL type.
 * This can serve as a base for libraries dealing with Pojo mappings.
 * <p/>
 * This codec can be seen as a convenience base class for libraries
 * dealing with Pojo-to-Pojo mappings, but it comes
 * with a performance penalty: each Java object is serialized
 * in two steps: first to an intermediate object, and then to a {@link ByteBuffer},
 * which means that each serialization actually incurs in two potentially
 * expensive operations being carried.
 * <p/>
 * If such operations are really expensive, and your mapping library is capable
 * of serializing objects directly to {@link ByteBuffer}s,
 * consider writing your own codec instead of using this one.
 *
 * @param <O> The "outer" (user-facing) Java type
 * @param <I> The "inner" (Cassandra-facing, intermediary) Java type
