## What is the purpose of the change This change allows to store null values with TTL and aligns the semantics of map state TTL get/contains methods with the map state w/o TTL.
## Brief change log - allow null user value in TtlValue - add tests for null user values in Map state - add NullableSerializer to wrap serializers w/o null support but where null values are needed in map state - doc notes ## Verifying this change *(Please pick either of the following options)* This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. *(or)* This change is already covered by existing tests, such as *(please describe tests)*. *(or)* This change added tests and can be verified as follows: *(example:)* - *Added integration tests for end-to-end deployment with large payloads (100MB)* - *Extended integration test for recovery after master (JobManager) failure* - *Added test that validates that TaskInfo is transferred only once across recoveries* - *Manually verified the change by running a 4 node cluser with 2 JobManagers and 4 TaskManagers, a stateful streaming program, and killing one JobManager and two TaskManagers during the execution, verifying that recovery happens correctly.* ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (yes / no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (yes / no) - The serializers: (yes / no / don't know) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (yes / no / don't know) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (yes / no / don't know) - The S3 file system connector: (yes / no / don't know) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
