Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5995 Thanks, the main code looks good! Unfortunately, this seems to wither break the compatibility with prior savepoints (when Avro types were implicitly handled through Kryo, now bridged through the `BackwarsCompatibleAvroSerializer`) or needs to adjust that test. There are also some license header issues, causing the build to fail.
