Description
Currently it's possible to perform a query like:
```
CREATE TABLE pubsub (
event_timestamp TIMESTAMP,
id VARCHAR
) ...
INSERT INTO pubsub (event_timestamp,
id) VALUES (...)
```
But when this is executed, the event_timestamp will be dropped, because on read it will be instead be populated with pubsub's publish time.
A couple of ideas:
- We could indicate that this is a VIRTUAL GENERATED column, and is therefore read-only. Calcite seems to have some support for this concept, see [ColumnStrategy.java](https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/schema/ColumnStrategy.java).
- We could just throw an exception in the Pubsub JSON Table Provider if the query's output schema contains event_timestamp.
