The state won't exist in the snapshot.

Hi all,
I'm confused about the description in documentation. [1]
* *Removing a stateful operator:*The state of the removed operator
is lost unless
another operator takes it over. When starting the upgraded
application, you have
to explicitly agree to discard the state.
Does that mean if I take a full snapshot (e.g. savepoint) after
restoring by explicitly agreeing to
discard the state, then the state won't exist in that snapshot? Or
does it just mean ignore the
state but the state still exist forever, unless I explicitly purge
that state by using state operator?
And could this behavior differ between different state backend
(Memory, FS, RocksDB) ?
Many thanks,
Tony Wei
