------------------------------------
Assignee: Zakelly Lan
> Use ListState#update() to replace clear + add mode.
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-30217
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30217
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / State Backends
> Reporter: xljtswf
> Assignee: Zakelly Lan
> Priority: Major
>
> When using listState, I found many times we need to clear current state, then
> add new values. This is especially common in
> CheckpointedFunction#snapshotState, which is slower than just use
> ListState#update().
> Suppose we want to update the liststate to contain value1, value2, value3.
> With current implementation, we first call Liststate#clear(). this updates
> the state 1 time.
> then we add value1, value2, value3 to the state.
> if we use heap state, we need to search the stateTable 3 times and add 3
> values to the list.
> this happens in memory and is not too bad.
> if we use rocksdb. then we will call backend.db.merge() 3 times.
> finally, we will update the state 4 times.
> The more values to be added, the more times we will update the state.
> while if we use listState#update. then we just need to update the state 1
> time. I think this can save a lot of time.
