package schema // DataSourceResourceShim takes a Resource instance describing a data source // (with a Read implementation and a Schema, at least) and returns a new // Resource instance with additional Create and Delete implementations that // allow the data source to be used as a resource. // // This is a backward-compatibility layer for data sources that were formerly // read-only resources before the data source concept was added.
