    Can we overload the constructor instead ? That way for new parameters 
default value will be initialized and we don't have to change the older usage.


> Enhance the mock data source: better data, SQL access

>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Tools, Build & Test
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.0
>            Reporter: Paul Rogers
>            Assignee: Paul Rogers
>            Priority: Minor

> Drill provides a mock data storage engine that generates random data. The 
> mock engine is used in some older unit tests that need a volume of data, but 
> that are not too particular about the details of the data.
> The mock data source continues to have use even for modern tests. For 
> example, the work in the external storage batch requires tests with varying 
> amounts of data, but the exact form of the data is not important, just the 
> quantity. For example, if we want to ensure that spilling happens at various 
> trigger points, we need to read the right amount of data for that trigger.
> The existing mock data source has two limitations:
> 1. It generates only "black/white" (alternating) values, which is awkward for 
> use in sorting.
> 2. The mock generator is accessible only from a physical plan, but not from 
> SQL queries.
> This enhancement proposes to fix both limitations:
> 1. Generate a uniform, randomly distributed set of values.
> 2. Provide an encoding that lets a SQL query specify the data to be generated.
> Example SQL query:
> {code}
> SELECT id_i, name_s50 FROM `mock`.employee_10K;
> {code}
> The above says to generate two fields: INTEGER (the "_i" suffix) and 
> VARCHAR(50) (the "_s50") suffix; and to generate 10,000 rows (the "_10K" 
> suffix on the table.)
