> The broadcast operator state functionality was added in FLINK-5265, it just hasn't been exposed through any public APIs yet.
> Currently, we have 2 streaming connector features for 1.3 that are pending on broadcast state: rescalable Kinesis / Kafka consumers with shard / partition discovery (FLINK-4821 & FLINK-4022). We should consider exposing broadcast state for the 1.3 release also.
> This JIRA also serves the purpose to discuss how we want to expose it.
> To initiate the discussion, I propose:
> 1. For the more powerful {{CheckpointedFunction}}, add the following to the {{OperatorStateStore}} interface:
> {code}
> <S> ListState<S> getBroadcastOperatorState(ListStateDescriptor<S> stateDescriptor);
> <T extends Serializable> ListState<T> getBroadcastSerializableListState(String stateName);
> {code}
> 2. For a simpler {{ListCheckpointed}} variant, we probably should have a separate {{BroadcastListCheckpointed}} interface.
> Extending {{ListCheckpointed}} to let the user define either the list state type of either {{PARTITIONABLE}} or {{BROADCAST}} might also be possible, if we can rely on a contract that the value doesn't change. Or we expose a defining method (e.g. {{getListStateType()}}) that is called only once in the operator. This would break user code, but can be considered because it is marked as {{PublicEvolving}}.
