I just had a crazy thought. :-)
What do you think about moving `getFieldNames()` and `getFieldIndicies()`
into a separate trait / interface maybe `DefinedFieldNames`?
> Extend TableSource to support nested data
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-5280
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5280
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk
>
> The {{TableSource}} interface does currently only support the definition of
> flat rows.
> However, there are several storage formats for nested data that should be
> supported such as Avro, Json, Parquet, and Orc. The Table API and SQL can
> also natively handle nested rows.
> The {{TableSource}} interface and the code to register table sources in
> Calcite's schema need to be extended to support nested data.
