Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I am researching how to integrate Feast with my model building process. We typically have some data sources that describe objects that have no timestamp. A canonical example is a geographical area. In theory they have changing characteristics, but for the problem scope for which we build a model, they are considered to be immutable, and our data contains no timestamp field for them. However, your documentation says [Feast uses a time-series data model to represent data](https://docs.feast.dev/v/master/getting-started/concepts/data-source)
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like a way to represent data sources which have no timestamp. Alternately, if this is already possible, I suggest making the documentation clearer on this issue.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I could add dummy timestamps to data files.
