   But that's very limiting in terms of what it can do. The table name has to 
be the topic name, which is extremely restrictive, and it uses magic string to 
determine topic vs field. It also does not allow reading from multiple topics 
into the same table or one topic into multiple tables.
   
   For my use case, I cannot use the topic name as the table name since the 
topic names have `.` in them, which does not work with AWS Glue. So I 
absolutely need a way to specify the source topic per table. I'm sure there are 
plenty of other such cases where people would want to explicitly specify the 
mapping from topic to table and simply cannot use the topic name as the table 
name.
