             Summary: ClosureCleaner to include reference classes for 
non-serialization exception
                 Key: FLINK-34251
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-34251
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: API / Core
    Affects Versions: 1.18.2
            Reporter: Mingliang Liu


Currently the ClosureCleaner throws exception if {{checkSerializable} is 
enabled while some object is non-serializable. It includes the non-serializable 
(nested) object in the exception in the exception message.

However, when the user job program gets more complex pulling multiple operators 
each of which pulls multiple 3rd party libraries, it is unclear how the 
non-serializable object is referenced as some of those objects could be nested 
in multiple levels. For example, following exception is not straightforward 
where to check:
{code}
org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: java.lang.Object@528c868 
is not serializable. 
{code}

It would be nice to include the reference stack in the exception message, as 
following:
{code}
org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: java.lang.Object@72437d8d 
is not serializable. Referenced via [class com.mycompany.myapp.ComplexMap, 
class com.mycompany.myapp.LocalMap, class com.yourcompany.yourapp.YourPojo, 
class com.hercompany.herapp.Random, class java.lang.Object] ...
{code}
