> Kryo runs extra logic to track and resolve repeated references to the same object (similar as JavaSerialization)
> We should disable reference tracking
>   - reference tracking is costly
>   - it is virtually always unnecessary in the datatypes used in Flink
>   - most importantly, it is inconsistent with Flink's own serialization (which does not do reference tracking)
>   - It may have problems if elements are read in a different order than they are written.
