This is due to Java's use of reflection and the need to maintain a lot of metadata.

- **Size of Serialized Data:**
Java serialization tends to produce larger serialized objects because it includes class metadata and other overhead.

- **Flexibility and Control:**

    val defaultParameters = (buildToolGradleParameters() + buildScanTags + extraSysProp + functionalTestParameters(Os.LINUX)).joinToString(separator = " ")

    params {
        // Override the default commit id so the build steps produce reproducible distribution
        param("env.BUILD_COMMIT_ID", "HEAD")
    }

    applyDefaults(
        model,
        this,
        ":distributions-full:install",

        preSteps = preBuildSteps
    )

    failureConditions {
        // JavaExecDebugIntegrationTest.debug session fails without debugger might cause JVM crash
        // Some soak tests produce OOM exceptions
        // There are also random worker crashes for some tests.
        // We have test-retry to handle the crash in tests
        javaCrash = false
    }
})

        Providing context helps us come up with a solution that is most useful in the real world
