Thanks for raising this @singhpk234! I like the direction here. As a user today, there are two modes either use scan planning or not. Which begs the question, when should I use one versus the other? And right now, there is no clear insight or story from the user's perspective. Now from a catalog's perspective, the modes make sense. For instance, If the catalog is using planning to enforce governance, the `required` mode would signify intent. But I do have a question on the semantics. In the current implementation IIUC, `optional` seems to be similar to required. Rendering the combination of `mode=None ` and Catalog support of planning, as optional. So I'd say if the intent is truly to express optionality to the client, should there be a client side override that wins. Or is the expectation that the catalog avoids sending the mode. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
