Hello all, We've had some productive discussion in various places on the mailing list, in the github PR, and in the live community sync now about the initial minimal updates to the Polaris REST API (under the "management API") for adding a ConnectionConfigInfo field to ExternalCatalogs to represent external federation:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/szq8nzhblgwz0w71g5wh8kkcwbm7nhkn https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/1026 To recap, the the ConnectionConfigInfo is designed to be extensible so that we can eventually define a variety of federation sources, but currently just defines a minimal Iceberg REST federation so that we have a good starting point to start implementing the internals of federation without biting off too much. We've also agreed the current proposed API is marked as "experimental" and "subject to change", so this step also doesn't entrench the API definition in stone yet. This thread commences our formal vote for addition of this initial API and merging the PR listed above. [ ] +1 Merge https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/1026 [ ] +0 [ ] -1 Do not merge because...
