<div class="block">A marshalling interface implemented by entity classes that represent keys as
tuples. Since <code>MarshalledTupleKeyEntity</code> objects are instantiated
using Java deserialization, no particular constructor is required by classes
that implement this interface.
<p>Note that a marshalled tuple key extractor is somewhat less efficient
than a non-marshalled key tuple extractor because more conversions are
needed. A marshalled key extractor must convert the entry to an object in
order to extract the key fields, while an unmarshalled key extractor does
not.</p></div>
