 ### File Scan Task Serialization
 
-File scan task is serialized as a JSON object according to the following table.
-
-| Metadata field       |JSON representation|Example|
-|--------------------------|--- |--- |
-| **`schema`**          |`JSON object`|`See above, read schemas instead`|
-| **`spec`**            |`JSON object`|`See above, read partition specs 
instead`|
-| **`data-file`**       |`JSON object`|`See above, read content file instead`|
-| **`delete-files`**    |`JSON list of objects`|`See above, read content file 
instead`|
-| **`residual-filter`** |`JSON object: residual filter 
expression`|`{"type":"eq","term":"id","value":1}`|
+There could be different implementations of file scan task, 
+e.g., `BaseFileScanTask` and `StaticDataTask` in Java.
+A enum `task-type` field is needed to distinguish different task types.
