For example, when one runs a REPLACE + * TABLE AS SELECT operation, if the catalog does not implement this trait, the planner will first + * drop the table via {@link TableCatalog#dropTable(Identifier)}, then create the table via + * {@link TableCatalog#createTable(Identifier, StructType, Transform[], Map)}, and then perform + * the write via {@link SupportsWrite#newWriteBuilder(CaseInsensitiveStringMap)}. However, if the + * write operation fails, the catalog will have already dropped the table, and the planner cannot + * roll back the dropping of the table. + * <p> + * If the catalog implements this plugin, the catalog can implement the methods to "stage" the + * creation and the replacement of a table.
