> Commonly it's [recommended|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2399544/difference-between-inheritance-and-composition] to favor composition over inheritance in java design, but currently in keyed backend we're using inheritance for the {{InternalKeyContext}} logic, and here we propose to change to the composition way.
> Another advantage of changing to the composition way is that we could remove the requirement of a heap backend instance when constructing {{HeapRestoreOperation}}, and further making sure all fields are final when constructing the {{HeapKeyedStateBackend}}
