> This issue proposes to add support for attaching data properties to data sources. These data properties are defined with respect to input splits.
> Possible properties are:
> - partitioning across splits: all elements of the same key (combination) are contained in one split
> - sorting / grouping with splits: elements are sorted or grouped on certain keys within a split
> - key uniqueness: a certain key (combination) is unique for all elements of the data source. This property is not defined wrt. input splits.
> The optimizer can leverage this information to generate more efficient execution plans.
> The InputFormat will be responsible to generate input splits such that the promised data properties are actually in place. Otherwise, the program will produce invalid results.
