 Review comment:
   I still think this is a bad and misleading name for this operator. `LastRow` 
doesn't explain neither the purpose, nor the actual thing that it's doing. If 
someone was asked without prior knowledge what `LastRow` RelNode/operator does, 
it would be impossible to guess the correct answer. It's even more confusing 
when you are binding `LastRow` with "upsert" name in the java doc:
   
   > Represent an upsert source.
   
   > The upsert key names.
   
   Please either change the name to something like 
`UpsertToRetractionsConverter` that explicitly states the purpose of this class 
(than you can keep `upsert` references in the java docs) or if you would like 
to keep naming by the thing that it does it would have to meet the following 
requirements:
   - `LastRow` is independent of the upsert -> retraction conversion logic
   - there is a reasonable chance that it will be used somewhere else outside 
of the upsert -> retraction conversion context 
   
   It's a bit like we would rename `LogicalJoin` to `HashTable`. Kind of true 
but misleading. It could make sense if:
   - `HashTable` is extracted to separate class
   - `LogicalJoin` relnode/operator/concept still exists, but is just using 
`HashTable`
   - `HashTable` is reused somewhere else
