> Currently, running a invokable in {{Task}} needs to call
> {{setEnvironment(env)}} and {{invoke()}}. If the invokable is also a
> {{StatefulTask}}, it need to call {{setInitialState(state)}}. That makes the
> difficulty in doing the eager initialization on invokable during
> {{DEPLOYING}} state. One solution discussed in FLINK-4714 is to separate
> {{invoke()}} into {{open()}} and {{invoke()}}, but that makes the complexity
> for running it in {{Task}}.
> This task wants to refactor {{AbstractInvokable}} and {{StatefulTask}} to
> make it easier to construct and run an invokable.
> # Refactor abstract class to have one default constructor.
> #* Drop {{StatefulTask}} and assume all subclasses of {{AbstractInvokable}}
> are stateful.
> #* Remove {{setEnvironment(env)}} and {{setInitialState(state)}}. Make
> {{AbstractInvokable}} have a two argument constructor with {{Environment}}
> and {{TaskStateHandles}}.
> # Update all subclass
> #* Make all subclass of {{AbstractInvokable}} have a two argument constructor
> and call the constructor in {{AbstractInvokable}}.
> #* Throw an error in {{BatchTask}} if the initial state is not null. (This
> will be removed after {{BatchTask}} have been stateful.)
> # Change the creation of the invokable to call that constructor, update all
> the tests.
> Then, we can simplify the logic to run an invokable by using constructor and
> {{invoke()}}. The eager initialization can easily be placed in the
> constructor to fulfill the requirement such as FLINK-4714.
