Arvid Heise updated FLINK-8715:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Any changes to the serializer done in #ensureCompability are lost during the 
state creation.

In particular, 
[https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-state-backends/flink-statebackend-rocksdb/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/contrib/streaming/state/RocksDBValueState.java#L68]
 always uses a fresh copy of the StateDescriptor.

An easy fix is to pass the reconfigured serializer as an additional parameter 
in 
[https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-state-backends/flink-statebackend-rocksdb/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/contrib/streaming/state/RocksDBKeyedStateBackend.java#L1681]
 , which can be retrieved through the side-output of getColumnFamily
{code:java}
kvStateInformation.get(stateDesc.getName()).f1.getStateSerializer()
{code}
I encountered it in 1.3.2 but the code in the master seems unchanged (hence the 
pointer into master). I encountered it in ValueState, but I suspect the same 
issue can be observed for all kinds of RocksDB states.
