Kurt Young updated FLINK-5185:
------------------------------
    Description: 
As the components' relationship show in this design doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PBnEbOcFHlEF1qGGAUgJvINdEXzzFTIRElgvs4-Tdeo/
We found it's been annoying for {{BatchTableSourceScan}} directly holding 
{{TableSourceTable}}, and refer to {{TableSource}} further. It's ok if the 
relationship is immutable, but when we want to change the {{TableSource}} when 
applying optimizations, it will cause some conflicts and misunderstanding. 

Since there is only one way to change {{TableSource}}, which is creating a new 
{{TableSourceTable}} to hold the new {{TableSource}}, and create a new 
{{BatchTableSourceScan}} pointing to that {{TableSourceTable}} which just 
created. The annoying part is the {{RelOptTable}} comes from the super class 
{{TableScan}} still holds the connection to the original {{TableSourceTable}} 
and {{TableSource}}. It will cause some misunderstanding, which one should the 
{{Scan}} rely to, and what's difference between these tables. 

Besides, {{TableSourceTable}} is not very useful in {{BatchTableSourceScan}}, 
the only thing {{Scan}} cares is the {{RowType}} it returns, since this is and 
should be decided by {{TableSource}}. So we can let {{BatchTableSourceScan}} 
directly holding {{TableSource}} instead of holding {{TableSourceTable}}.If 
some original information are needed, find table through {{RelOptTable}}.

We found it's been annoying for ``BatchTableSourceScan`` directly holding 
TableSourceTable, and refer to TableSource further. It's ok if the relationship 
is immutable, but when we want to change the TableSource when applying 
optimizations, it will cause some conflicts and misunderstanding. 

Since there is only one way to change TableSource, which is creating a new 
TableSourceTable to hold the new TableSource, and create a new 
BatchTableSourceScan pointing to that TableSourceTable which just created. The 
annoying part is the RelOptTable comes from the super class TableScan still 
holds the connection to the original TableSourceTable and TableSource. It will 
cause some misunderstanding, which one should the Scan rely to, and what's 
difference between these tables. 

Besides, TableSourceTable is not very useful in BatchTableSourceScan, the only 
thing Scan cares is the RowType it returns, since this is and should be decided 
by TableSource. So we can let BatchTableSourceScan directly holding TableSource 
instead of holding TableSourceTable.If some original information are needed, 
find table through RelOptTable.
