   > 1. Have a single `AlterTable` logical plan, which has 2 members: `table: 
LogicalPlan` and `changes: Seq[TableChange]`. We also have a single 
`AlterTableExec` physical plan.
   
   Do you mean generating `AlterTable` in `AstBuilder`? One issue with this 
approach is for v1 commands (`ResolveSessionCatalog`) because there could be an 
ambiguity b/w `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` and `ALTER TABLE REPLACE COLUMN`. That's 
why this PR created different `AlterTableXXX` with a base `AlterTable`.
   
   > 2. Have various `AlterTableXXX` logical plans, which are similar to the 
existing `AlterTableXXXStatement`. Update the code that resolve/check 
`Seq[TableChange]` to deal with `AlterTableXXX` logical plans instead. We still 
have a single `AlterTableExec` physical plan, the planner will convert all 
`AlterTableXXX` logical plans to it.
   
   I can try this approach and create a separate PR for comparison. Let me know 
if I misunderstood 1) option above.
