Review Comment:
   Personally, I find this confusing. Having exact same data as an input twice 
is an artificial case. I think it rarely occurs in production use cases. Bear 
in mind this does not model the "replaying" case: reading from the same offset 
before and after restore. The API models a perfect source that stores the 
offsets in the checkpoint. Currently you model an input like (using only the 
first column for simplicity):
   
   ```
   offset  | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
   data.   | 2 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 3  | 5
   ```
   with a savepoint at offset `5`.
   
   In other words. If you were testing `SELECT a, COUNT(*) FROM t GROUP BY a;` 
you'd get (after materializing all updates of course):
   ```
   a | COUNT(*)
   ------
   2 | 2
   4 | 2
   6 | 2
   1 | 2
   3 | 2
   5 | 2
   ```
   
   
   Having said all that. I am not sure which property having the same data 
twice showcases? 
   
   I find it even more confusing, because I am starting to see a pattern in 
using the same data twice in more PRs: 
https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/23675
   
   Having such visible patterns easily caughts the attention and makes people 
wonder. If we want to test particular behaviour could we add a comment what is 
the role of each row, e.g.
   ```
   .producedBeforeRestore(
                                               Row.of(2, "a", 6),
                                               Row.of(4, "b", 8),
                                               Row.of(6, "c", 10),
                                               Row.of(1, "a", 5),
                                               Row.of(3, "b", 7),
                                               Row.of(5, "c", 9))
                                       .producedAfterRestore(
                                               Row.of(2, "a", 6), # should 
replace [3, b, 7] from before the restore
                                               Row.of(4, "b", 8), # should be 
ignored as it is "bigger" than the lowest [2, "a", 6]
                                               Row.of(6, "c", 10), # what is 
the added benefit? It's the same as the row above, right?
                                               Row.of(1, "a", 5), # should 
replace [2, a, 6] from before the restore
                                               Row.of(3, "b", 7), # can be 
removed, right?
                                               Row.of(5, "c", 9)) # can be 
removed, right?
   ```
