> In order to support input formats for the Table API, interfaces are necessary. I propose two types of TableSources:
> - AdaptiveTableSources can adapt their output to the requirements of the plan. Although the output schema stays the same, the TableSource can react on field resolution and/or predicates internally and can return adapted DataSet/DataStream versions in the "translate" step.
> - StaticTableSources are an easy way to provide the Table API with additional input formats without much implementation effort (e.g. for fromCsvFile())
> TableSources need to be deeply integrated into the Table API.
> The TableEnvironment requires a newly introduced AbstractExecutionEnvironment (common super class of all ExecutionEnvironments for DataSets and DataStreams).
> Here's what a TableSource can see from more complicated queries:
> {code}
> getTableJava(tableSource1)
> .filter("a===5 || a===6")
> .select("a as a4, b as b4, c as c4")
> .filter("b4===7")
> .join(getTableJava(tableSource2))
> .where("a===a4 && c==='Test' && c4==='Test2'")
> // Result predicates for tableSource1:
> // List("a===5 || a===6", "b===7", "c==='Test2'")
> // Result predicates for tableSource2:
> // List("c==='Test'")
> // Result resolved fields for tableSource1 (true = filtering, false=selection):
> // Set(("a", true), ("a", false), ("b", true), ("b", false), ("c", false), ("c", true))
> // Result resolved fields for tableSource2 (true = filtering, false=selection):
> // Set(("a", true), ("c", true))
> {code}
