   Thanks for flagging downstream compatibility. I checked the current PR 
commit: SparkJdbcTypeConverter already handles ExternalType by mapping it to 
StringType (see 
https://github.com/apache/gravitino/blob/53e809c4a/spark-connector/spark-common/src/main/java/org/apache/gravitino/spark/connector/jdbc/SparkJdbcTypeConverter.java).
 Thus the Spark JDBC type-conversion layer has a string fallback for these 
columns. This does not provide native high-precision decimal arithmetic, and 
end-to-end Spark reads have not been validated in this PR. The scope here 
remains preserving MySQL metadata and allowing table loading. The requested 
comments and MySQL load IT have been added in 53e809c4a.
