/**
 * The {@link DefinedFieldMapping} interface provides a mapping for the fields of the table schema
 * ({@link TableSource#getTableSchema} to fields of the physical produced data type {@link
 * TableSource#getProducedDataType()} of a {@link TableSource}.
 *
 * If a {@link TableSource} does not implement the {@link DefinedFieldMapping} interface, the
 * fields of its {@link TableSchema} are mapped to the fields of its produced {@link DataType} by
 * name.
 *
 * 
If the fields cannot or should not be implicitly mapped by name, an explicit mapping can be
 * provided by implementing this interface.
 *
 * 
If a mapping is provided, all fields must be explicitly mapped.
 *
 * @deprecated This interface will not be supported in the new source design around {@link
 *     DynamicTableSource}. See FLIP-95 for more information.

The mapping is done based on field names, e.g., a mapping "name" -> "f1" maps the schema
