PartitionableTableSource (Flink : Table : Common 2.1.0 API)

```
@Deprecated
@Internal
public interface PartitionableTableSource
```
Deprecated.
This interface will not be supported in the new source design around DynamicTableSource. Use SupportsPartitionPushDown instead. See FLIP-95 for more information.

An interface for partitionable TableSource.
A PartitionableTableSource can exclude partitions from reading, which includes skipping the metadata. This is especially useful when there are thousands of partitions in a table.
A partition is represented as a Map<String, String> which maps from partition field name to partition value. Since the map is NOT ordered, the correct order of partition fields should be obtained via partition keys of catalog table.

- Method Detail
  - getPartitions
```
List<Map<String,String>> getPartitions()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns all the partitions of this PartitionableTableSource.
  - applyPartitionPruning
```
TableSource applyPartitionPruning(List<Map<String,String>> remainingPartitions)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Applies the remaining partitions to the table source. The remainingPartitions is the remaining partitions of getPartitions() after partition pruning applied.
    After trying to apply partition pruning, we should return a new TableSource instance which holds all pruned-partitions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    remainingPartitions - Remaining partitions after partition pruning applied.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new cloned instance of TableSource holds all pruned-partitions.
