NodeID (Core XMPP Server 4.8.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jivesoftware.openfire.cluster.NodeID

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable
```
public class NodeID
extends Object
implements Externalizable
```
Class which wraps the byte[] we use to identify cluster members. The main reason for this class is that byte[] cannot be directly compared so having a collection of byte[] is not possible since you cannot remove to equivalent byte[] from the collection.
