 Review comment:
   @rdblue what about the use case in 
http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/Possible-bug-in-DatasourceV2-td25343.html
 ?
   
   i.e. the data source can write data of any schema, and it's not readable, it 
has no schema?
   
   Do you mean we should ask data source to return an empty schema for this 
case?
