+/**
+ * A data source reader that can mix in various query optimization
interfaces and implement these
+ * optimizations. The actual scan logic should be delegated to `ReadTask`s
that are returned by
+ * this data source reader.
+ *
+ * There are mainly 3 kinds of query optimizations:
+ * 1. push operators downward to the data source, e.g., column pruning,
filter push down, etc.
+ * 2. propagate information upward to Spark, e.g., report statistics,
report ordering, etc.
+ * 3. special scans like columnar scan, unsafe row scan, etc. Note that
a data source reader can
+ * at most implement one special scan.
+ *
+ * Spark first applies all operator push down optimizations which this
data source supports. Then
+ * Spark collects information this data source provides for further
optimizations. Finally Spark
+ * issues the scan request and does the actual data reading.
