Do not use `Option` here. This interface might be implemented in Java.

> Key: FLINK-3849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3849
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Anton Solovev
>
> Add a {{FilterableTableSource}} interface for {{TableSource}} implementations
> which support filter push-down.
> The interface could look as follows
> {code}
> def trait FilterableTableSource {
> // returns unsupported predicate expression
> def setPredicate(predicate: Expression): Expression
> }
> {code}
> In addition we need Calcite rules to push a predicate (or parts of it) into a
> TableScan that refers to a {{FilterableTableSource}}. We might need to tweak
> the cost model as well to push the optimizer in the right direction.
