Review comment:
make sense.
Side note: I wonder if we should have a better name for `Table`Factory in
the near future. As far as I know, it's already used for table, catalog, and
function. Though its javadoc describes itself as "A factory to create different
table-related instances from string-based properties.", it's still quite
confusing to developers - I myself frequently get confused by it and miss
points like what you suggested, let alone those who are new and not familiar
with this matter
