Request to
`http://127.0.0.1:8181/v1/namespaces/default/tables/alter_partition_drop_column/plan`:
```json
{"snapshot-id":7435989651564931343,"case-sensitive":true,"use-snapshot-schema":false}
```
Response from the server catalog:
```json
{"status":"completed","plan-id":"sync-32f14095-0fed-4bc4-b1ed-aa4a2b4174b7","file-scan-tasks":[{"data-file":{"spec-id":0,"content":"data","file-path":"s3://warehouse/default/alter_partition_drop_column/data/a=test/c=1983-05-21/00000-2-94359d00-02aa-4c14-9f97-48dff44953e2-0-00001.parquet","file-format":"parquet","partition":["test"
```
With headers, to verify the response is correctly received:
```
request_error = ""
reason = "OK"
headers = {
headers = size=5 {
[0] = (first = "Content-Length", second = "332")
[1] = (first = "Content-Type", second = "application/json")
[2] = (first = "Server", second = "Jetty(12.1.8)")
[3] = (first = "Date", second = "Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:11:24 GMT")
[4] = (first = "Vary", second = "Accept-Encoding")
}
}
success = true
```
It looks like the server hit an error while constructing the result,
probably because the field that the data file was partitioned on is no longer
part of the schema.
But that error appears to get swallowed, resulting in a 200 response.
