/**
 * Factory for {@link net.hydromatic.optiq.Schema} objects.
 *
 * <p>A schema factory allows you to include a custom schema in a model file.
 * For example, here is a model that contains a custom schema whose tables
 * read CSV files. (See the
 * <a href="https://github.com/julianhyde/optiq-csv">optiq-csv</a> for more
 * details about this particular adapter.)</p>
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * {
 *   version: '1.0',
 *   defaultSchema: 'SALES',
 *   schemas: [
 *     {
 *       name: 'SALES',
 *       type: 'custom',
 *       factory: 'net.hydromatic.optiq.impl.csv.CsvSchemaFactory',
 *       mutable: true,
 *       operand: {
 *         directory: 'target/test-classes/sales'
 *       },
 *       tables: [
 *         {
 *           name: 'FEMALE_EMPS',
 *           type: 'view',
 *           sql: 'SELECT * FROM emps WHERE gender = \'F\''
 *          }
 *       ]
 *     }
 *   ]
 * }
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>If you do not wish to allow model authors to add additional tables
 * (including views) to an instance of your schema, specify
 * 'mutable: false'.</p>
 *
 * <p>A class that implements SchemaFactory specified in a schema must have a
 * public default constructor.</p>
