Yun Tang updated FLINK-11691:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Currently, interface {{ConfigurableStateBackend}} has method definition below:
{code:java}
StateBackend configure(Configuration config) throws 
IllegalConfigurationException;
{code}

Actually, we need the class loader for anything needed to instantiate through 
reflection when calling {{StateBackend#configure}}. This is really helpful if 
we want something to be configurable. Take an example, by providing a class 
name via flink-conf.yaml, user could configure anything they want, such as the 
{{OptionsFactory}} in {{RocksDBStateBackend}} 
([FLINK-10912|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10912]) or the 
compression decorator in {{StateBackend}} 
([FLINK-11313|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11313])

On the other hand, interface {{StateBackendFactory}} also has method definition 
below, which would then call {{StateBackend#configure}}.
{code:java}
T createFromConfig(Configuration config) throws IllegalConfigurationException, 
IOException;
{code}

They were all called mainly in 
{{StateBackendLoader#loadStateBackendFromConfig}} and 
{{StateBackendLoader#fromApplicationOrConfigOrDefault}}. Those two methods 
already have {{ClassLoader}} in their parameters, and it would be easy to pass 
the class loader to the {{configure}} methods mentioned above.

 {{ConfigurableStateBackend}} has no annotation, from its usage, it should be a 
{{'@Internal'}}
