             Summary: Deprecate TableScanRule
                 Key: CALCITE-3769
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3769
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 1.21.0
            Reporter: Danny Chen
            Assignee: Danny Chen
             Fix For: 1.22.0


The TableScanRule is the only planner rule that for a logical node(e.g. the table scan), it’s functionality is to pass along the cluster object and invoke the RelOptTable#toRel. It’s function is very trivial because it supplies only a ToRelContext that does not support expanding view/passing table hints.

For rels that come from the sql-to-rel conversion, there is already a table conversion logic[1]. This code gives a powerful
ToRelContext that has the complete functionality.

The only reason that I saw the meaning of existing TableScanRule is for the TableScan that comes from the RelBuilder#scan.

So I would suggest to deprecate the TableScanRule, instead, we support translating the table directly in RelBuilder#scan,
We also add a new interface RelBuilder#scan(Iterable<String> tableNames, ToRelContext context), so that we can pass in a more powerful ToRelContext explicitly.
