**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** I'm trying to implement a `CatalogList`/`CatalogProvider`/`SchemaProvider` that based on some remote storage service like ZooKeeper/Etcd. **Describe the solution you'd like** But current `CatalogList`/`CatalogProvider`/`SchemaProvider` trait is in a sync manner. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/e54110fb592e03704da5f6ebd832b8fe1c51123b/datafusion/core/src/catalog/catalog.rs#L29-L47 That makes asynchronously accessing remote storage service impossible while implementing `CatalogList`/`CatalogProvider`/`SchemaProvider`. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Maybe change these traits to async or provide an async version? **Additional context** I see projects like [influxdb-iox did some hack](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/pull/1058) to get around this problem. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
