Alternative to #17543. Same goal — let the REST catalog carry table format version 4 — but this version relaxes the existing response schemas in place instead of introducing V2 schemas and `/v2` endpoints, and it does not bump the API version. Existing clients keep calling the same endpoints. A client that only understands format versions 1-3 reads the `format-version` in the returned metadata, sees 4, and stops, which the spec already requires. Changes: - `Snapshot`: add `content-root` and make `manifest-list` optional, with a `oneOf` requiring exactly one of the two. Format versions 1-3 use `manifest-list`; version 4 uses `content-root`. - `TableMetadata`: raise the `format-version` maximum to 4 and make `location` optional. - `LoadTableResult` / `UnregisterTableResult`: add `table-location` for resolving relative paths in v4 metadata. - `CommitTableResponse`: add `table-location` and drop `metadata-location` from the required set (absent for catalog-managed tables). This is a proposal to drive discussion; v4 is still in development. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
