Is OK_NEW_SCHEMA intended to signal that the new schema is actually changed from any previous schema, or is it intended only to signal that there's a new (report of the) schema, but the new schema isn't necessarily different from any previous schema)?
Are callers (of XxxBatch next() methods) that receive OK_NEW_SCHEMA responsible for checking whether the new schema is the same as the old schema (or, more generally, can be handled by the caller) and avoiding throwing a schema-change exception in that case? Or are callees (XxxBatch next() methods) responsible for not returning OK_NEW_SCHEMA if the new schema is the same as the previous schema? (Or is it some combination?)
