Re: Polaris, good to know. Sounds like an example that this PR could be valuable in standardizing approach of handling snapshotLog. Re: Other REST catalog implementations, thank you for the explanation that makes sense. For arbitrary REST catalog implementations, there is no guarantee on the performance of using `REFS` mode. A catalog could choose to send the whole snapshotLog or choose to only send referenced snapshots from the log.
