### Change Logs Issue #9005 described a usecase where adding a new column into an existing hudi table was failing due to schema incompatibility exception. The exception was being thrown because the new column was marked as NOT NULL by default. This PR adds a config parameter 'MAKE_NEW_COLUMNS_NULLABLE' which when set to true will mark newly added column as nullable. By default 'MAKE_NEW_COLUMNS_NULLABLE' is set to false to maintain existing behavior. ### Impact See description ### Risk level (write none, low medium or high below) Low ### Documentation Update Config description updated. ### Contributor's checklist - [X] Read through [contributor's guide](https://hudi.apache.org/contribute/how-to-contribute) - [X] Change Logs and Impact were stated clearly - [X] Adequate tests were added if applicable - [X] CI passed -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
