      Java class which has a field of type “Object” (since the field can be of various types), when we try writing to Mongo the customer get an exception “Can't find a codec for class java.lang.Object”.

      To avoid this exception they created a custom Codec for Object (Codec<Object>) and write the encode/decode methods manually (attached).

      The ask is to add it to the default codec registry so they will not have to maintain it.
