Hi Shengkai,

Thank you for introducing an interesting concept of plan advice.
After reviewing the FLIP, I thought that plan advice cannot fully replace
the original intention of the OperationValidator.
Similar to the pluggable ResourceValidator[1] in flink k8s operator, the
OperationValidator aims to block certain operations and throw exceptions,
acting as a safeguard rather than an interactive advisor.

For example, it can target CREATE TABLE queries that set configurations
which can lead to issues due to human errors, such as group.id and
scan.startup.timestamp-millis in kafka tables.
Additionally, it can block INSERT operations if the operator wants to
ensure the sql gateway remains read-only.

I might have misunderstood the extensibility of plan advice, so please feel
free to correct me.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

Best,
Dongwoo
