Review Comment:
   I think the direction of the “generic table” concept is still evolving, and 
it has the potential to expand beyond structured data to also cover 
unstructured data.
   
   From my perspective, the naming carries important implications. If we call 
it generic-table-access-delegation, it suggests that the header is scoped 
specifically to generic table APIs and applies only to entities managed within 
that context. On the other hand, polaris-access-delegation implies a broader, 
cross-cutting concept within Polaris that could be reused by future APIs. As 
Yufei mentioned, this could also extend to use cases like Iceberg tables.
   
   Since the overall direction is still not fully defined, I’m fine with either 
name for now, might more prefer to use generic-table prefix to restrict the 
scope. However, I want to make sure we’re aligned on the underlying concept and 
intended scope before finalizing it.
