Thanks for your reply. I suppose "state" wasn't really the best term to use; our real need is simply to share objects between task instances and serde factorys in a single container. Concretely, we have an Avro schema registry that we need access to. It maintains connections to Zookeeper, so we would prefer to only have one per container. We have what I would consider a hacky implementation working via Singletons, but it would be nicer if we could pass instances around in some sort of job-level context object.

I don't think there's a built in way. One "hacky" way to do it is have a static flag to indicate whether or not the shared instance initialization is complete. As far as the shared state goes - there's a ticket tracking this issue: SAMZA-402 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-402> . But I don't think there's any ticket for the use case you mention.
