Review comment:
       Hmm, how would this pattern work with concurrent modifications? Assume 
that the following happens: We get the `configMap`, discard the `stateHandle` 
and then return the updated `configMap` w/o the state handle key. Now for some 
reason `internalClient.createOrReplace` fails and the whole operation will be 
retried. Now when the `function` is re-executed it will fail right away because 
`stateHandle` can no longer be discarded but it is still in the `configMap` 
(because the update failed).
   
   I guess what I want to say is that we should not discard state which has not 
been removed from the `configMap`. Hence, it would be good if we could support 
an API where we first update the `configMap` and only do an operation if the 
update has succeeded.
