> Currently, we do not attempt to perform state schema evolution if the key or
> value's schema of a user {{MapState}} has changed when using {{RocksDB}}:
> https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/953a5ffcbdae4115f7d525f310723cf8770779df/flink-state-backends/flink-statebackend-rocksdb/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/contrib/streaming/state/RocksDBKeyedStateBackend.java#L542
> This was disallowed in the initial support for state schema evolution because
> the way we did state evolution in the RocksDB state backend was simply
> overwriting values.
> For {{MapState}} key evolution, only overwriting RocksDB values does not
> work, since RocksDB entries for {{MapState}} uses a composite key containing
> the map state key. This means that when evolving {{MapState}} in this case
> with an evolved key schema, we will have new entries.
