If `fetch` can only be used after a `offset`. Wouldn't it be better to
overload `offset`? We could also call it `limit` (with one and two parameters)
similar to `RelBuilder` does it.
> Add support for ORDER BY OFFSET FETCH
> -------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-3940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3940
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: GaoLun
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently only ORDER BY without OFFSET and FETCH are supported.
> This issue tracks the effort to add support for OFFSET and FETCH and involves:
> - Implementing the execution strategy in `DataSetSort`
> - adapting the `DataSetSortRule` to support OFFSET and FETCH
> - extending the Table API and validation to support OFFSET and FETCH and
> generate a corresponding RelNode.
