+/**
+ * Builder interface for creating file readers across supported data file 
formats. Each {@link
+ * FileAccessFactory} implementation provides appropriate {@link ReadBuilder} 
instances based on:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>source file format (Parquet, Avro, ORC)
+ *   <li>engine-specific object representation (spark, flink, generic, etc.)
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>The {@link ReadBuilder} follows the builder pattern to configure and 
create {@link
+ * CloseableIterable} instances that read data from source files. 
Configuration options include
+ * schema projection, predicate filtering, record batching, and encryption 
settings.
+ *
+ * <p>This interface is directly exposed to users for parameterizing readers.
+ *
+ * @param <B> the concrete builder type for method chaining

Review Comment:
   I think the current api is misleading. The case sensitivity is not working 
with column names. The columns are identified by ids, or name mapping, but 
never by names. So the reader only uses the case sensitivity for the filters. I 
wanted to highlight this with this change in the API.
