snazy opened a new issue, #568: URL: https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/568
### Describe the bug Basically all object types in Polaris have mutable attributes, either directly (via setters) or indirectly (via collections). This is known to be prone to programming issues. All value types should really be immutable types - none of the elements of a value type should be mutable. Libraries like [immutable](https://immutables.github.io/) are built to support this. [immutable](https://immutables.github.io/) is superior to both Java records and Lombok. While the direct attributes of Java records are not changeable, the objects (collections!) referenced from Java records are not enforced to be immutable. Lombok provides similar functionality than immutables, but adds bytecode (and functions/methods) that is not present in the source code, which makes for example debugging harder. ### To Reproduce _No response_ ### Actual Behavior _No response_ ### Expected Behavior _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ ### System information _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
