Review comment:
       Currently I take `Long.MAX_VALUE` as a numeric end offset. But we may 
also need a notion  to say that the `OffsetPoller` doesn't have a good estimate 
and still want to keep current range as infinite.  `Long.MAX_VALUE` is not 
suitable because it's possible that the actual end is `Long.MAX_VALUE`. Do we 
want to provide a notion here? Like `null`?
