Review Comment:

things, and off-by-1 errors._ - Leon Bambrick
   
   😄the classic.
   
   I think leaving it up to the user, leads us to the issue about blocking an 
async call in a sync trait function? I think if we have an idea how to handle 
this, we can better reason about if, when, and where to cache?
   
   from the docs:
   > To implement 
[CatalogProvider](https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/catalog/trait.CatalogProvider.html)
 and 
[SchemaProvider](https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/catalog/schema/trait.SchemaProvider.html)
 for remote catalogs, you need to provide an in memory snapshot of the required 
metadata. Most systems typically either already have this information cached 
locally or can batch access to the remote catalog to retrieve multiple schemas 
and tables in a single network call.
