The current connector implementor has no way of knowing that the last three fields were added by the planner and not from real user data. The user has to declare several different schemas (containing only partial column information and no overlap except for the primary key) to get around the current problem. 

By adding targetColumnList target column list information to the DynamicTableSink#Context, this problem can be solved.

...

Add new getTargetColumns to DynamicTableSink#Context.
