What exactly is materialized about class
org.apache.drill.exec.record.MaterializedField?

The name gave me the impression that it would be a field/column with
its data materialized (as a materialized view has copies of data).

However, MaterializedField doesn't seem to contain data values (just
field metadata like the name/pathname and data type).

So what exactly does the class represent?  (What's materialized,
and relative to what?)
