Review comment:
       @becketqin thank you for the detailed analysis. I agree that there 
should be a way to extract the end position from `FileSource`. It's mentioned 
on the FLIP that we would like to keep this work separate, so that we can also 
think about a potential uniform end position format. Meanwhile `SourceFactory` 
and `SourceSwitchContext` provide the mechanism to solve this in a source 
specific way. We intend to use it internally with a custom source and other 
sources may provide their own way to access the end position. I hope that the 
augmented examples make this more clear and the intended boundary for this PR 
also makes sense? CC: @AHeise
