[FLINK-2713] [streaming] Set state restore to lazy to avoid
StateCheckpointer issues and reduce checkpoint overhead
Currently failure recovery fails when using custom StateCheckpointers
because they are not correctly set before trying to restore the operator
initial state. This PR solves this issue by making state restore lazy (only
happens if the user wants to access the value of the state)
The current order of events and the problem:
1. Create StreamTask
2. Call restoreInitialState(snapshot) -> default java-serialization
StateCheckpointer is used
2. Open UDF and run computation. -> This is the point when custom
StateCheckpointers are set
2. Take snapshots....
We can see while the custom StateCheckpointers are available and work for
taking snapshots they are not set set yet when call restore which obviously
leads to error.
The change is:
1. Create StreamTask
2. Call restoreInitialState(snapshot) -> state is not restored yet, but a
flag is set
3. Open UDF and run computation. -> This is the point when custom
StateCheckpointers are set
4. The state is restored when the user accesses the value
5. Take snapshots... (just return the last checkpoint if not restored yet)
The PR also extends the StreamCheckpointingITCase and the
PartitionedStateCheckpointingITCase to include a case for custom
StateCheckpointers for both local and partitioned OperatorStates.
