DataFusion FDW-like remote-table querying crate, and a naming conundrum

[gruuya]

Hi all! 👋🏻

The main purpose of this discussion is as a Show and Tell submission, but also to help us resolve a naming conundrum of ours. Namely, while working on Seafowl we've implemented a remote table querying mechanism, which enables us to query a variety of remote data sources (Postgres, MySQL and SQLite for now) via the TableProvider interface (really, a FDW-like capability for DataFusion).

The implementation is self-contained (independent of Seafowl itself, apart from how we hook up the existing CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE statement for the table definition), and is generally useful to anyone using DataFusion as a framework. So we figured we'd factor it out into a standalone crate (in a shared workspace with Seafowl, for easier development/maintenance), named datafusion-remote-tables.

My question is concerned with the naming etiquette in the DataFusion/Rust community—specifically is calling the crate datafusion-remote-tables considered name squatting? If so we'd have to think of another name.
