Hi, Godfrey Thanks for your feedback. Below is my thoughts about your questions.
1. About RowFormat. I agree to your opinion. So we decided to revert the RowFormat related changes and let the client to resolve the print format. 2. About ContentType I agree that the definition of the ContentType is not clear. But how to define the statement type is another big question. So, we decided to only tell the query result and non-query result apart. The CLI will use default print style for the non-query result. 3. About ErrorHandling I think reuse the current ErrorResponseBody is good, but parse the root cause from the exception stack strings is quite hacking. We think it’s better to add the root cause to the ErrorResponseBody. 4. About Runtime REST API Modifications I agree, too. This part is moved to the ‘Future Work’.
