Right, but in the current implementation the statistics of the
`TableSourceTable` are preferred over the stats of the `TableSource` (`if
(tableSourceTable.getStatistic != FlinkStatistic.UNKNOWN) { return rowcount;
}`).
If I see this correctly, the stats of the `TableSourceTable` are the stats
in the catalog, but a `FilterableTableSource` knows if a filter has been pushed
down and should have more accurate stats because it can apply the selectivity
of the pushed down filter.
So in my opinion the `TableSource` statistics should be preferred over the
static `TableSourceTable` stats.
Is my reasoning correct or did I overlook something @godfreyhe?
Thanks, Fabian
