/**
   * Creates projection list for scan. If the projection contains expressions, then the input

   * projection list.
   *
   * @param origScan row scan underneath the project
   * @param projRel ProjectRel that we will be creating the projection for
   * @param projectedColumns returns a list of the projected column ordinals, if it is possible to
   *     project
   * @param preserveExprCondition condition that identifies special expressions that should be
   *     preserved in the projection
   * @param defaultExpr expression to be used in the projection if no fields or special columns are
   *     selected
   * @param newProjList returns a new projection RelNode corresponding to a projection that now
   *     references a rowscan that is projecting the input references that were extracted from the
   *     original projection expressions; if the original expression didn't contain expressions,
   *     then this list is returned empty
   * @return true if columns in projection list from the scan need to be renamed
