Very good work and thanks for improving the documentation. I like the
update. From what I have seen in the past, some user have mistaken the
list-nature of the operator state and simply dumped lots of small elements in
the list, that should not actually be the unit of repartitioning and sometimes
even logically belonged together. I wonder if the different semantics in list
state between the operator state and the keyed state can be confusing and
error-prone for users and what we could do about this? A method called
`getListState` might be a step in the wrong direction.
Besides this, +1 from me.
