@tonycox, great. Thanks for the notice! Is the PR ready to review from your
point of view or are you still working on it?
@KurtYoung Thanks for reaching out to this PR. I'd like to propose the
following. I'll have a look at both PRs and see how we can maybe split the
effort into two commits. So, everybody gets a contribution out of this effort.
Regarding making `CsvTableSource` a `ProjectableTableSource`, it is true
that `CsvTableSource` will not benefit as much as other sources. Even with
pushed-down projections, it will still read all data and split it into rows.
However, we can save some time in field parsing (esp. tailing fields are not
parsed at all) and object creation (and later garbage collection). So, making
`CsvTableSource` a `ProjectableTableSource` will mainly safe some CPU time and
not IO. In addition, this is currently the only `BatchTableSource` and rather
easy to test.
