   Hi, @a-agmon Thanks for raising this. Let me add some background here, the 
reason the field is named as `data_file` is that, in fact for each 
`FileScanTask` we have not only data, but also deletion tasks, e.g. position 
deletes and eq delete files. Currently they are not included because the logic 
of applying and pruning deletion files is a little complicated, and we  
   decided to focus on read only data first. 
   
   > The other option, is to rename the data_file field on FileScanTask to 
manifest_entry whereas the data file fields will be accessed like: 
file_scan_task.manifest_entry().data_file().some_property
   
   This is reasonable to me, but I have a small suggestion to rename 
`data_file` to `data_manifest_entry`, what do you think?
