What is the purpose of the change

This change prevents Beam state requests from accessing Flink state after Python runner shutdown has completed. During task cancellation, Beam state callbacks can otherwise overlap keyed state backend disposal and access closed RocksDB native resources.

Brief change log

  • Add a lifecycle gate to BeamStateRequestHandler.
  • Wait for in-flight state requests during close and reject requests after close.
  • Close the state handler after Beam request production stops and before the Python runner returns.
  • Add deterministic tests for close draining, post-close rejection, and runner shutdown ordering.

This change added tests and can be verified as follows:

  • ./mvnw -q -pl flink-python -am -Dflink.markBundledAsOptional=false -Dtest=BeamStateRequestHandlerTest,BeamPythonFunctionRunnerTest -Dsurefire.failIfNoSpecifiedTests=false -Dfast -Pskip-webui-build -T1 test
