> When ignore-unclaimed-state is false and the old state is removed, flink
> should throw exception. It's similar to removing a stateful operator.
> This case occurs not only when the user removes state, but also when the
> operator is replaced.
> For example: upgrade FlinkKafkaConsumer to KafkaSource. All logical are not
> changed, so the operator id isn't changed. The KafkaSource cannot resume from
> the state of FlinkKafkaConsumer. However, the new flink job can start, and
> the state is silently removed in the new job.(The old state is not physically
> discarded, it is still stored in the state backend, but the new code will
> never use it.)
> It also brings an additional problem: the KafkaSource will snapshot 2 states,
> it includes the new state of KafkaSource, and the union list state of
> FlinkKafkaConsumer. Whenever a job resumes from checkpoint, the union List
> state is inflated. Eventually the state size of kafka offset exceeded 200MB.
