I think this interface and its sub interfaces/implementations should be in
the same module as `AbstractStreamOperator` and somewhere in the api package
space.
Also, the naming could be changed to something like
`StateInitializationContext` -> `FunctionInitializationContext` ->
`OperatorInitializationContext`. Or something reflecting their purpose but
`StateInitializationContext` should be at the bottom of the hierarchy.

>
> Partitionable operator and keyed state are currently only available by using
> backends. However, the serialization code for many operators is build around
> reading/writing their state to a stream for checkpointing. We want to provide
> partitionable states also through streams, so that migrating existing
> operators becomes more easy.
