Why are these changes needed?
Currently, for recurrent/recursive models, the state is only available for policy evaluation during training, but it's not available in the SampleBatch hence is not accessible at the execution plans level which in turn means that is not present in the replay buffer. So, apex-like algorithms can not use memory models right now in RLlib.
Here we are making the very first step towards supporting memory for this kind of algorithms.
