   is it possible to fetch the original schema when the file was committed if 
SE disabled?
   
   > I would suggest we only do 1 for all kinds of input formats, and wrap 
another format only for schema evolution by doing step2, WDYT ?
   
   Yes it sounds reasonable. Moreover, I've already tried it:) and faced with 
one problem. Mb you know how to solve it. When SE enabled we can't  do the 
first step "read the record as is" because `int[] selectedFields` is based on 
latest read schema (aka querySchema) not on file schema (aka actualSchema). So 
we need additional `step 0`
   
   0. Prepare `int[] selectedFields` according to actual schema (if SE enabled)
   1. fetch the original schema when the file was committed, read the record as 
is
   2. project the record with latest read schema if needed (if SE enabled)
   So "wrap another format" looks likes:
   ```java
   InputFormat inputFormat;
   if (SE.enabled) {
     inputFormat = new ProjectFormat(new ReadAsIsFormat(new PrepareFormat()))
   } else {
     inputFormat = new ReadAsIsFormat()
   }
   ```
   I mean, this is a solvable problem, but the solution is more complicated 
than this PR
