### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Right now there is no (good) SQL syntax for creating a table via SQL that is marked as an infinite stream. The only way is to either create it programatically or (after https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/6235 is merged) some non user friendly option syntax (that is also purposely not documented) I would like a real, user friendly, way to create such a table ### Describe the solution you'd like Instead of ```sql CREATE external table t ... OPTIONS('infinite_source' 'true') LOCATION 'tests/data/empty.csv'; ``` I would like some sort of explicit syntax like ```sql CREATE external table t ... INFINITE LOCATION 'tests/data/empty.csv'; ``` ### Describe alternatives you've considered It would be good to do some research into what other systems (like Flink) that support streaming SQL call this concept / how they declare such tables ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
