Review Comment:
   Thanks for taking a look, @XJDKC !
   External ETags weren't in the scope of the [original 
design](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rnVSP_iv2I47giwfAe-Z3DYhKkKwWCVvCkC9rEvtaLA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.5voryi2hj0go).
 In fact the ETags for this functionality are deliberately kept 'under the 
hood' and not exposed to the clients/engines.
   The use-case you describe wouldn't simply require the ETag to be passed in 
to loadTable() but also to have some mechanism to answer with a table object in 
case of a 304-NotModified. Would you simply expect null from loadTable() and 
have a cache on the caller side to answer such queries?
