+/**
+ * A marker interface to provide a catalog implementation for Spark.
+ * <p>
+ * Implementations can provide catalog functions by implementing
additional interfaces, like
+ * {@link TableCatalog} to expose table operations.
+ * <p>
+ * Catalog implementations must implement this marker interface to be
loaded by
+ * {@link Catalogs#load(String, SQLConf)}. The loader will instantiate
catalog classes using the
+ * required public no-arg constructor. After creating an instance, it will
be configured by calling
+ * {@link #initialize(CaseInsensitiveStringMap)}.
+ * <p>
+ * Catalog implementations are registered to a name by adding a
configuration option to Spark:
+ * {@code spark.sql.catalog.catalog-name=com.example.YourCatalogClass}.
All configuration properties
+ * in the Spark configuration that share the catalog name prefix,
+ * {@code spark.sql.catalog.catalog-name.(key)=(value)} will be passed in
the case insensitive
+ * string map of options in initialization with the prefix removed. An
additional property,
+ * {@code name}, is also added to the options and will contain the
catalog's name; in this case,
+ * "catalog-name".

@cloud-fan, do you want me to create the `sql-api` package in this PR, or
do you want to add a separate PR to move the current v2 API?
