Vladimir Sitnikov commented on CALCITE-584:
-------------------------------------------

I was not thinking you are proposing to get rid of QueryableTable (however it 
could be a nice idea).

If we throw Scannable things all over the place, we would find ourselves stuck 
with that codebase.

I want to merge Queryable vs Scannable somehow so:
1) Users could progressively enhance features without major rewrites from 
Scannables to SuperScannables or whatever.
2) We could manage the complexity of multiple different **ables.

I hope there could be a way to make a blend of "Scannable and Queryable" so 
newbies are not hurt.

{quote}At that point they will be happy to learn about rules and more advanced 
SPIs.{quote}
Is that obvious, that "to get more features, you need to go from 
ScannableTable" to "QueryableTable"?
Well, for a non-native speaker, the difference between "scannable" and 
"queryable" is subtle.

> The TableMacro.apply method used to return Table but in 
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-calcite/commit/aa1f0983c126c23466deb990c96d6ff2dffd908c
>  this changed to TranslatableTable. It seems reasonable to allow TableMacro 
> to return other sub-types of Table, for example ScannableTable.
