        `isRandom` in interface `StarTable`
      Overrides:
        `isRandom` in class `AbstractStarTable`
      Returns:
        `true` if table random access methods are available

      Description copied from interface: `StarTable`
      Returns an object which can iterate over all the rows in the table sequentially. Each such returned object is safe for use within a single thread, but not in general from multiple threads concurrently.
      Specified by:
        `getRowSequence` in interface `StarTable`
      Specified by:
        `getRowSequence` in class `AbstractStarTable`
      Returns:
        new RowSequence
