> Add MapState for keyed streams
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4856
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4856
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DataStream API, State Backends, Checkpointing
> Reporter: Xiaogang Shi
> Assignee: Xiaogang Shi
>
> Many states in keyed streams are organized as key-value pairs. Currently,
> these states are implemented by storing the entire map into a ValueState or a
> ListState. The implementation however is very costly because all entries have
> to be serialized/deserialized when updating a single entry. To improve the
> efficiency of these states, MapStates are urgently needed.
