    What about to make `TableSource` abstract class? So that it can fit in with 
Java and Scala without involving something hack.
    
    In this way, the `StreamTableSource` and `BatchTableSource` should be 
abstract class too.

> The {{TableSource}} interface does currently only support the definition of 
> flat rows. 
> However, there are several storage formats for nested data that should be 
> supported such as Avro, Json, Parquet, and Orc. The Table API and SQL can 
> also natively handle nested rows.
> The {{TableSource}} interface and the code to register table sources in 
> Calcite's schema need to be extended to support nested data.
