Volodymyr Vysotskyi commented on DRILL-4120:
--------------------------------------------
Existing implementation of AvroDrillTable does not allow dynamic columns
discovering. {{AvroDrillTable.getRowType()}} method returns {{RelDataTypeImlp}}
instance with the list of all table columns. It forces validator to check
columns from select list in {{RowType}} list. It makes impossible to use
implicit columns.
I think the usage of {{AvroDrillTable}} should be replaced by
{{DynamicDrillTable}} for Avro format and also should be allowed usage of
non-existent columns in Avro tables to be consistent with other storage formats.
> dir0 does not work when the directory structure contains Avro files
