 Review comment:
   As @vlsi said earlier I am not sure if this new operator (which is a bit 
particular) should extend Union since there is a risk that existing rules may 
match when they shouldn't. 
   
   Apart from that I can identify two main functionalities in this operator:
   1. Iterative calls to the subplan till a certain number is reached or untill 
there are no more results.
   2. Buffer and write to a side table/collection at certain intervals (i.e., 
end of iteration).
   
   I think we could try to isolate these functionalities in separate 
logical/physical operators with clear semantics and responsibilities which 
could improve encapsulation and reutilization of these operators in other use 
cases. 
   
   I propose something along the following lines. For 1, we could have a 
Logical/EnumerableIterate operator while for 2, we could have a 
Logical/EnumerableSpool (maybe relevant to look at CALCITE-481) that takes care 
of buffering and writting to the side table. Then to satisfy the use cases so 
far the two operators should be combined the one on top of the other 
(Iterate[Spool[Subplan]]). Last thing that is missing is the seed which could 
be placed somwhere in the subplan and we should ensure somehow that is executed 
only once (using a filter?).
   
   @rubenada If what I am proposing appears very complicated, useless, or out 
of context please let me know. In any case the work so far is great :)
