Stefan Richter created FLINK-9799: ------------------------------------- Summary: Generalize/unify state meta info Key: FLINK-9799 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9799 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: State Backends, Checkpointing Affects Versions: 1.5.0 Reporter: Stefan Richter Assignee: Stefan Richter
Flink currently has a couple of classes that describe the meta data of state (e.g. for keyed state, operator state, broadcast state, ...) and they typically come with their own serialization proxy and backwards compatibility story. However, the differences between those meta data classes are very small, like different option flags and a different set of serializers. Before introducing yet another meta data for timers, we should unify them in a general state meta data class. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
