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 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
