Connector Improvement: Shopify - Eagerly Create Tables
When a Shopify connector doesn't have data for a particular source (e.g., orders), it does not create a table. Instead, it seems to wait until there is data to create the table (i.e., lazily).
Our company has multiple Shopify instances and will likely create more in the future. Since the connector only creates the table when data is available, it makes abstracting over a connector's tables more difficult.
For example, we have a new connector for our UK Shopify instance, but since no stores have opened we have no orders. Since we have no orders, we have no orders tables. We would like to union the UK data with our existing data so that it will flow into reporting when the store opens, but that would require us to manually create all of the missing tables.
Instead, we would like the tables to be generated when the connector is made, regardless of whether there is data that needs to be synced (i.e., eagerly).
