Seth Wiesman commented on FLINK-16686:
--------------------------------------

I can report users running into this again. I realize this is a tough problem 
to solve. In the interim, what about eagerly banning the use of Kryo serializer 
for List and Map state ttl's? As it already does not work, I don't believe this 
would be a breaking change but would prevent our users from corrupting their 
snapshots cc [~knaufk] [~trohrmann] [~liyu]

>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Runtime / State Backends
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0, 1.11.3, 1.13.0, 1.12.3
>            Reporter: Andrey Zagrebin
>            Priority: Minor

> The issue is initially reported 
> [here|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60745711/flink-kryo-serializer-because-chill-serializer-couldnt-be-found].
> The problem is that the java code of Flink compaction filter is called from 
> RocksDB native C++ code. It is called in the context of the native compaction 
> thread. RocksDB has utilities to create java Thread context for the Flink 
> java callback. Presumably, the Java thread context class loader is not set at 
> all and if it is queried then it produces NullPointerException.
> The provided report enabled a list state with TTL. The compaction filter has 
> to deserialise elements to check expiration. The deserialiser relies on Kryo 
> which queries the thread context class loader which is expected to be the 
> user class loader of the task but turns out to be null.
> We should investigate how to pass the user class loader to the compaction 
> thread of the list state with TTL.
