Hi @jackye1995 - I'm of the opinion that this is totally fine. If the client wants to have their own catalog implementation for any of many possible reasons (e.g. because it requires a specific auth mechanism) they should be allowed to. I'm actually wondering what about the state of code right now, that would prevent them from having their own implementation. I want to hold off on giving a definite answer before actually trying this out, but I think even now, they should be able to implement the `Catalog` or `MetastoreCatalog` classes and use their own Catalog. In that case, maybe adding a bit more documentation on the topic to explain how they can go about implementing their own `Catalog`s will be helpful to the users. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
