Looks good.
This is API-breaking, we need to tag it as such and add it to the wiki page
collecting API-breaking changes for the next release.
> CopyableValue method to copy into new instance
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2723
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: master
> Reporter: Greg Hogan
> Assignee: Greg Hogan
> Priority: Minor
>
> Provide a method for generic user-defined functions to clone a
> {{CopyableValue}}. A common use case is a {{GroupReduceFunction}} that needs
> to store multiple objects. With object reuse we need to make a deep copy and
> with type erasure we cannot call new.
