> Looking at the {{KeyedBackendStateMetaInfoSnapshotReaderWriters}}, we create {{RegisteredKeyedBackendStateMetaInfo.Snapshot}} where the {{stateSerializer}} can be {{null}}. This is not the problem, however, in {{RocksDBKeyedStateBackend#restoreKVStateMetaData}} we create a {{RegisteredKeyedBackendStateMetaInfo}} from the deserialized {{Snapshot}} where we null check the state serializer. This will then fail with an indescriptive NPE.
> I think the same should happen when resuming with Flink 1.5 from a 1.4 savepoint.
