What is purpose of overriding `containsItem` and `getItemId` in `FragmentStateAdapter`?

What is purpose of overriding containsItem and getItemId in FragmentStateAdapter?

Are these overrides required if one is passing in new lists to the FragmentStatePagerAdapter implementation and calling notifyDataSetChanged?

From the doc, appears both overrides are require if the underlying data set is changing, and you need to call notifyDataSetChanged?

/**
 * Default implementation works for collections that don't add, move, remove items.
 * <p>
 * TODO(b/122670460): add lint rule
 * When overriding, also override {@link #getItemId(int)}
 */
public boolean containsItem(long itemId) {
    return itemId >= 0 && itemId < getItemCount();
}

/**
 * Default implementation works for collections that don't add, move, remove items.
 * <p>
 * TODO(b/122670460): add lint rule
 * When overriding, also override {@link #containsItem(long)}.
 * <p>
 * If the item is not a part of the collection, return {@link RecyclerView#NO_ID}.
 *
 * @param position Adapter position
 * @return stable item id {@link RecyclerView.Adapter#hasStableIds()}
 */
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return position;
}

So for example, here is my implementation

class MyAdapter(host : Fragment) : FragmentStateAdapter(host) {

    data class FragItem(val newInstance : () -> Fragment, val fragId : Long)

    private var fragments = mapOf<Integer,FragItem>()

    override fun createFragment(position: Int): Fragment {
        return fragments[position]?.newInstance?.invoke() ?: DefaultFragment()
    }
    
    fun applyDataSet(newFragments : Map<Integer, FragItem>) {
        fragments = newFragments
        notifyDataSetChanged()
    }

    override fun getItemCount() = fragments.size

    override fun containsItem(itemId: Long): Boolean{
        return fragments.any { it.value.fragId == itemId }
    }

    override fun getItemId(position: Int) : Long{
        return fragments.values.elementAt(position).fragId
    }
}

Now can I get rid of getItemId and containsItem? Or leave them? What about getItemCount?
