> Currently, RocksDBMapState.clear() is implemented by iterating over all the keys and drop them one by one. This iteration can be quite slow with: 
>  * Large maps
>  * High-churn maps with a lot of tombstones
> There are a few methods to speed-up deletion for a range of keys, each with their own caveats:
>  * DeleteRange: still experimental, likely buggy
>  * DeleteFilesInRange + CompactRange: only good for large ranges
>  
> Flink can also keep a list of inserted keys in-memory, then directly delete them without having to iterate over the Rocksdb database again. 
>
