Github user rdblue commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23086 > I still do not think we should mix the catalog support with the data source APIs We are trying to keep these separate. `Table` is the only overlap between the two. If you prefer more separation, we could move the `newScanBuilder` method to a separate interface that readable data sources implement. > Catalog is a well-defined concept in database systems, as what Spark SQL follows. The so-called "table catalog" is not a catalog to me. I'm glad that you're interested in joining the discussion on multi-catalog support. Let's have that discussion on the catalog issues or discussion threads on the dev list, not here on an update to the read API.
