Review Comment:
   > Option 1: Leave it as is, implement various subclasses of DataFile that 
represent delete files, change logs, etc. Minimal code change, but messy. We 
will see DeleteDataFile.
   
   I don't think we will have to add `DeleteDataFile`. We can simply construct 
`DataFile` from `DeleteFile` like we construct `DataFile` from `ManifestFile` 
in metadata tables today.
   
   ```
   DataFiles.fromManifest(manifest)
   ```
   
   It is a little bit weird, though, I agree, hence the debate.
   
   > Option 2: Refactor FileScanTask hierarchy.
   
   I'd be up for refactoring `FileScanTask` even though it will require quite 
some changes. Any concerns anyone?
