elements of ListState as multiple key-values in rocksdb

   Thanks for suggesting another approach @FaxianZhao !
   
   This change looks quite involving. Usually, it is easier to discuss the 
design in Dev mailing list or Jira issue to get community's feedback firstly. 
In this case I am wondering if it is even maybe better to create a design 
document with the proposal and post it in Dev mailing list. This simplifies 
reaching a consensus about wether the suggested approach should be merged and 
getting confirmation from a committer who would be ready to merge it eventually.
   
   Especially, I think we might want to firstly discuss the reliability of 
timestamps for indexing elements order because of possible time shifts of 
machines which can change e.g. after restore to another machine. The design 
document could contain more details which would simplify understanding of the 
approach and the subsequent review of PR and merging.
   
   Could you create a design doc, post it in Dev mailing list/Jira issue and 
close this PR at the moment? Once, the design doc gets positive community 
feedback you can reopen this PR.
