trait SupportsMetadataColumns extends Table
An interface for exposing data columns for a table that are not in the table schema. For example, a file source could expose a "file" column that contains the path of the file that contained each row.
The columns returned by #metadataColumns() may be passed as StructField in
requested projections. Sources that implement this interface and column projection using
SupportsPushDownRequiredColumns must accept metadata fields passed to
SupportsPushDownRequiredColumns#pruneColumns(StructType).
If a table column and a metadata column have the same name, the metadata column will never be requested. It is recommended that Table implementations reject data column name that conflict with metadata column names.
