Hi Sebastian, Thanks for the response!
LB5: I was thinking of this solution but I think it introduces more problems than it solves. Long-term, I feel it would be a footgun if people try to compare test records _with_ partitions. And the current implementation with a reasonable default partition should already be backward compatible. There are other possible solutions, like a custom assertion or an operation to "wipe" the partition, but they are probably not worth the effort. As I mentioned before, I don't see a better solution to this -- I would just keep the KIP as it is. I mostly included it in the discussion to make people aware and maybe spark an idea in someone. Cheers, Lucas
