Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3508 @aljoscha @StefanRRichter Rebased on master to resolve conflicts. Also, the follow-up commits addresses the following: 1. Remove / deprecate the Java serialization shortcuts. We have some connectors that use the deprecated shortcut method, but I think since changing those will require some more involved migration work, I propose to fix those as a separate JIRA / PR. 2. According to Stephan's suggestion, refine the current naming of the operator state methods. `getOperatorState` is renamed to `getListState`, and the new union state is named as `getUnionListState`. Further question regarding deprecating Java serialization shortcuts: do we then also have a cause to deprecate the `ListCheckpointed` interface, since that itself is a shortcut also?
