    While this is currently not used, once we implement things like out-of-core 
state access or lazy state access this will probably become necessary.

> Currently there is no way to remove a specific key from the partitioned state 
> stored at streaming operators, which can cause unnecessary state accumulation.
> I suggest to remove the partitioned state for the current input when the 
> state is set to null, and upon next retrieval simply return the default 
> value. This allows the implementation of streaming programs that can garbage 
> collect their own unwanted state.
