> Support passing stateBackend through pipeline options in python sdks
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

>                 Key: BEAM-8112
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8112
>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: runner-flink
>            Reporter: Catlyn Kong
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently the only way for python sdks to instruct flink to use a 
> StateBackend different than the default (MemoryStateBackend) would be to 
> specify state.backend in flink-conf.yaml, which creates the limitation of 
> using the same statebackend for every job running on the same flink cluster. 
> Ideally we should be able to pass it in to flink runner through 
> PipelineOptions. Here's the error it spits out when I flag  
> --state_backend=RocksDBStateBackend:
>  
> {code:java}
> RuntimeError: Pipeline failed in state FAILED: 
> com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: Cannot 
> construct instance of `org.apache.flink.runtime.state.StateBackend` (no 
> Creators, like default construct, exist): abstract types either need to be 
> mapped to concrete types, have custom deserializer, or contain additional 
> type information
>  at [Source: (String)""RocksDBStateBackend""; line: 1, column: 1]
> {code}
> Acceptance Criteria:
> Flink StateBackend is configurable via command line options from python.
