Hi Gabor,

To be more specific, I'm thinking of introducing `RichSourceReaderContext`,
and having a `RichSourceReaderFactory` creating `SourceReader` on top of
the rich context. Or we still use the `SourceReaderFactory` but do type
conversion from `SourceReaderContext` to `RichSourceReaderContext` in
implementation of state processing source's `createReader`. Well this is
not a big change, WDTY?

BTW, I'm curious if there is a solution for implementing a Source V2 based
on `InputFormat`. Otherwise if the `InputFormat` is only for V1 then why is
it not deprecated.


Best,
Zakelly
