Hello Yufei, thank you for asking.
I believe that -1 is an option for keeping the name.
If we do not gather enough votes for renaming tool, we keep the current.
Just to clarify, the current name is "polaris".

Hi Yufei,
AFAIK at ASF voting is a yes/no question. If we're not certain about the
name, let's add/review options on the discussion thread.
Cheers,
Dmitri.

Thanks for driving this, Artur!
avoid collisions with the existing ./polaris executable in the Apache
Polaris project
We could rename the tool in that case.
I heard different voices about the names, mostly between the current name
"polaris", and the proposed one "pypolaris". Can we give people an option
for voting to keep the current name "polaris"?

Hello everyone.
I would like to open a VOTE for using "pypolaris" as the name of the
Apache Polaris CLI tool that will be available after installing the
Apache Polaris python distribution.
```
pip install apache-polaris
pypolaris --help
```
Motivation:
-avoid collisions with the existing ./polaris executable in the Apache
Polaris project
-avoid name collisions with other tools not related to Apache Polaris
-ease of use
-Initial Issue - Package Python CLI tool in the binary distribution [1]
-How it might look like I reflected in the draft PR. Feel free to
