For most other tests that we have added/reworked in the past, we moved away
from using `Record` for the tests. The `Record` was the core element of the old
record API, which is deprecated.
Using simple Java types makes the tests usually easier, more readable, and
closer to the real behavior of the system (with respect to object reuse and
mutability).
Would be nice to move the tests from `Record` to `Tuple2<Long, String>` or
something comparable.
