 Review comment:
   This is tricky for `DESCRIPTOR`. 
   
   After checking existing type checkers, I think Calcite' `OperandTypeChecker` 
and `checkOperandTypes` are designed to verify the operand types. For example. 
It checks if MOD's operands are `INTEGER`.
   
   
   Back to `DESCRIPTOR`, there is no really `type` associated with column 
names. For example, `descriptor(key_column)`, we don't know what's the type of 
key_column, thus type checker checks nothing.
   
   There is a need to verify if columns can be found, which can be done in 
either `deriveType` or `checkOperandTypes`. 
   
   In the full version of  `DESCRIPTOR`, SQL standards allows user provide a 
type, e.g. `descriptor(key_column INTEGER)`, which can be used for type 
checking, say the column name can be resolved and the corresponding column 
found from the table is also `INTEGER`. The full version should override 
`checkOperandTypes` for sure.
   
   Given the current status of `DESCRIPTOR`, I incline to keep the name 
resolution in `driveType` as it's already implemented. When we have the full 
version of `DESCRIPTOR`, we should make everything done in  type checker.
