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'}} was: Currently, interface {{ConfigurableStateBackend}} has method definition below: {code:java} StateBackend configure(Configuration config) throws IllegalConfigurationException; {code} On the other hand, interface {{StateBackendFactory}} has method definition below: {code:java} T createFromConfig(Configuration config) throws IllegalConfigurationException, IOException; {code} They were all called mainly in {{StateBackendLoader#loadStateBackendFromConfig}} and {{StateBackendLoader#fromApplicationOrConfigOrDefault}}.
