Review comment:
Just double-checking: Was this intentionally removed?

> Remove writing serializers as part of the checkpoint meta information
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9377
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9377
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> When writing meta information of a state in savepoints, we currently write
> both the state serializer as well as the state serializer's configuration
> snapshot.
> Writing both is actually redundant, as most of the time they have identical
> information.
> Moreover, the fact that we use Java serialization to write the serializer
> and rely on it to be re-readable on the restore run, already poses problems
> for serializers such as the {{AvroSerializer}} (see discussion in FLINK-9202)
> to perform even a compatible upgrade.
> The proposal here is to leave only the config snapshot as meta information,
> and use that as the single source of truth of information about the schema of
> serialized state.
> The config snapshot should be treated as a factory (or provided to a
> factory) to re-create serializers capable of reading old, serialized state.
