+ * A read-only serializable table implementation that can be sent to other nodes.

+ * While this class captures the metadata file location that can be used to load the full table
+ * metadata, it also serializes directly things like properties, schema, spec, sort order
+ * to avoid reading the metadata file from other nodes to access frequently needed metadata.
+ * <p>
+ * <em>Note:</em> loading the full metadata from a large number of nodes can overwhelm the storage.

       This is still not Kryo friendly due to `io`. Query engines will have to handle that separately.
