   >Before I go into the details of the PR, could you please help me understand 
what to expect in the interim period, when the sink receives records with and 
without the dropped column?
   
   New records will write with the new schema with any columns not part of the 
input schema dropped. Old records will continue to write with the old schema, 
which still exists. If there are any previously unseen schemas which include 
removed columns, those columns will be re-added as new columns. This is a catch 
which users will have to accept. That's why the feature is opt-in and disabled 
by default.
