For the storage info (imap, checkpoint), In feature maybe still has some change, like add a filed, data type change. We need make sure we can compatible with old version (at least last version), then we can restore the historary data.

What can we do now:

1. fix in release version or give advice (soluaction/warning) to user that want upgrade to version 2.3.5
2. add ut to make sure in feature when we modify those class, we can notice this case.

Yes, this is one I really think SeaTunnel should have.
