             Summary: MapState.contains() returns false for an existing key 
whose value is None
                 Key: FLINK-41104
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-41104
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: API / Python
            Reporter: Dian Fu


In PyFlink process mode, MapState.contains(key) incorrectly treats an existing 
mapping with a None value as an absent entry.

Reproduction without TTL:
{code:python}
state.put(1, None)
state.contains(1)  # Returns False
{code}

Expected:
contains(1) returns True while the mapping exists, and returns False after the 
key is removed.

Actual:
It returns False for the existing mapping, both before commit and after commit. 
The behavior also occurs with an uncached backend response.

Root cause:
InternalSynchronousMapRuntimeState.contains() determines membership using 
self.get(map_key) is not None. This loses the distinction between a missing 
entry and an existing null-valued entry, although the write cache and map-state 
protocol preserve an explicit existence flag.

The affected implementation is in 
flink-python/pyflink/fn_execution/state_impl.py. Membership checks should use 
entry existence rather than value nullness.

Regression tests should cover null-valued, non-null-valued, missing, and 
removed entries across buffered, cached, and uncached reads, including the "key 
in state" syntax.
