Github user bowenli86 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4656 @tzulitai Thanks, Gordon! I watched your presentation on "managing state of Flink", and you did a great job explaining all details. I added an option for PER_REQUEST model since it doesn't hurt anything. This PR is for 1.4. There's [another PR here](https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4657) I think need to be merged to both 1.4 and 1.3.x
