    @stevenzwu the snapshotState method was actually never intended to be 
overriden, hence making it final here to state that clearly. For example, the 
verrsion-specific implementations for `FlinkKafkaConsumerBase` may override 
that and have incorrect implementations, where as our tests would never realize 
it.
