**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** As a DataFusion / Ballista user, one awesome feature is that I can create custom table providers and register them on the context to support datasources not built into DataFusion itself (e.g. DeltaLake). However, if I make my own server (i.e. Ballista fork or Ballista with plugins) I cannot allow my users to register arbitrary tables at run time through SQL - I need to hard-code those into my app. **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like to extend the `create external table` syntax to allow registration of arbitrary table types. **Describe alternatives you've considered** - Don't allow users to register custom tables at runtime - Use a different syntax than `create external table` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
