- * This deserializer exists to fix a break that changing this property name caused.
- * in 7.2.0 we went from blobId to binaryContentId. However this did not consider installations using filesystem
- * mode storage in which the data on disk was not updated, and existing stored details used `blobId`. This causes
- * Jackson deserialization failures which are tough to recover from without manually modifying all those stored details
- * on disk.
- * <p>
- * <p>
- * This class is a shim to support the old and new names.
