>
> Flink keeps the state serializer in {{StateDescriptor}}, but it's the
> serializer of list elements that is put in {{ListStateDescriptor}}. The
> implementation is a little confusing. Some backends need to construct the
> state serializer with the element serializer by themselves.
> We should use an {{ArrayListSerializer}}, which is composed of the serializer
> of the element, in the {{ListStateDescriptor}}. It helps the backend to avoid
> constructing the state serializer.
> If a backend needs customized serialization of the state (e.g.
> {{RocksDBStateBackend}}), it still can obtain the element serializer from the
> {{ArrayListSerializer}}.
