Where can I find a design doc for dynamic partition pruning that explains
how it works?

The JIRA issue, SPARK-11150, doesn't seem to describe dynamic partition
pruning (as pointed out by Henry R.) and doesn't have any comments about
the implementation's approach. And the PR description also doesn't have
much information. It lists 3 cases for how a filter is built, but
nothing about the overall approach or design that helps when trying to find
out where it should be placed in the optimizer rules. It also isn't clear
why this couldn't be part of spark-catalyst.
