> There are certain pitfall when modifying classes used as keys.
> For instance, removing a field from a key's class would cause
> nondeterministic behavior when using RocksDB state backend, which relies on
> binary objects identity, rather than hashCode implementation.
> Documentation should mention that keys evolution is not supported and
> specifically that when using Kryo serializers, framework would not be able to
> capture potential incompatibility with the previous state format.
