   Hi @edmondop  -- this sounds cool. 
   
   I don't fully understand what you have in mind for mutation testing -- it 
seems like mutation testing is designed to find holes in our test coverage (a 
good goal). However, I am worried about adding an automatic test like unless 
someone has the bandwidth to monitor and fix issues it finds.
   
   We are already struggling to keep extended test running cleanly, for example
   - https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/14576
   
   I worry if we added automatic mutation testing the results would simply be 
ignored -- in which case adding the tests doesn't add much value
   
   Perhaps you can try to run mutation tests manually, look at the results, and 
see if they uncover anything good
