Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5645 I added a way to reset the flag into its original state (prior to assertion activation) and used that to test that the concurrency check is not active by default. The `KryoSerializerConcurrencyTest` tests the default test setting (concurrency checks on), the `KryoSerializerConcurrencyCheckInactiveITCase` tests the general default (concurrency checks off).
