> An example where this apply is with json, or hbase when selecting a specific 
> column qualifier. For these table formats, there is no way to know whether a 
> particular column exists unless we scan the entire table. So a requested 
> column that does not exist is simply treated as a column of nulls.
> We should allow an option to fail a query if a requested column is not found 
> after reading a configurable number of rows. This option will help avoid the 
> case where a mistyped column name results in a full table scan with 
> unexpected results.
