Doesn't really make a difference IMO. It's all about relative costs. We
only need to make sure that a `FilterableTableSource` with pushed down
predicates appears to be less expensive than the same `TableSource` without
pushed predicates.
The problem has not occurred before, because the `OrcTableSource` does not
guarantee that all emitted rows match the pushed predicates. Therefore, all
predicates are also applied by a following `Calc` operator such that the cost
of that operator is not decreased.
