> BTW, we intended to do this pretty soon -- we were thinking about naming;
i.e. thinking about whether it is better UX to say OPTIONS('infinite_source'
'true'), or OPTIONS('infinite' 'true'), or OPTIONS('unbounded' 'true'). Any
ideas on this?
I agree infinite_source is not a good name (I chose it to mirror the field
in the code).
In terms of a better UX, I think the ideal UX would be to have some explicit
syntax (rather than string name/value pairs). Something like
```sql
CREATE external table t ...
INFINITE
LOCATION 'tests/data/empty.csv';
```
If you agree, perhaps we can merger this PR as is (as a testing tool) and I
can file a follow on ticket to make the syntax better.
