    My main concern is that, in `CreateDataSourceTableCommand`, we call 
`DataSource.resolveRelation` to infer the schema and partition columns. At that 
time, the table is not created yet, so logically we should not pass a 
`CatalogTable` to `DataSource` and create `CatalogFileIndex` inside it, which 
looks like a hack.
    
    It seems to me that it's more logical to tweak the `InMemoryFileIndex` to 
scan the files lazily, to avoid unnecessary file scan for cases like this one.
