Github user tillrohrmann commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/925#issuecomment-123212399 Is it bad that the accumulators are not serialized in a local setup? If not and you only want to test the serialization in a distributed setting, then you can also simply start the testing cluster with multiple `ActorSystems`. This should enforce serialization, if I'm not mistaken.
