CustomColumnResolvingTable (Apache Calcite API)

All Superinterfaces:

Table
```
public interface CustomColumnResolvingTable
extends Table
```
Extension to Table that specifies a custom way to resolve column names.
It is optional for a Table to implement this interface. If Table does not implement this interface, column resolving will be performed in the default way.

NOTE: This class is experimental and subject to change/removal without notice.

                                                                                            RelDataTypeFactory typeFactory,

```
    Resolve a column based on the name components. One or more the input name components can be resolved to one field in the table row type, along with a remainder list of name components which have not been resolved within this call, and which in turn can be potentially resolved as sub-field names. In the meantime, this method can return multiple matches, which is a list of pairs containing the resolved field and the remaining name components.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rowType - the table row type
    
    typeFactory - the type factory
    
    names - the name components to be resolved
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of pairs containing the resolved field and the remaining name components.
