> Currently, when using RocksIterator we only use the _iterator.isValid()_ to check whether we have reached the end of the iterator. But that is not enough, if we refer to RocksDB's wiki https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Iterator#error-handling we should find that even if _iterator.isValid()=true_, there may also exist some internal error. A safer way to use the _RocksIterator_ is to always call the _iterator.status()_ to check the internal error of _RocksDB_. There is a case from user email seems to lost data because of this http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Missing-MapState-when-Timer-fires-after-restored-state-td20134.html
