No concern, just curious if there is any reason for the 1 additional. The
problem also still exists now for a second element. So is it, in general,
unlikely that new elements are added? Or should we add some more additional
space, like 10%?
> ListSerializer should deserialize as ArrayList with size + 1

>
> The {{ListSerializer}} deserializes a list as {{ArrayList}} with exactly the
> required capacity, i.e., number of serialized objects.
> Several operators in the Table API have a {{MapState<Long, List<X>>}} to
> store received elements in a list per timestamp. Hence, retrieving the list
> and adding one element to the list is a very common operation.
> Since the list which is deserialized has no room left for adding elements,
> the first insertion into the list will result in growing the {{ArrayList}}
> which is expensive.
> I propose to initialize the {{ArrayList}} returned by the {{ListSerializer}}
> with numberOfSerializedElements + 1. This will only marginally increase the
> size of the list and allow for one insertion without growing the list.
