Thanks Zhoufa, Very thanks to you for starting this discussion!
Overall looks good to me! 1. You have introduced `chain-table.query.type` in doc, can you explain its usage? 2. Can you update options in `Usage Method`? Looks inconsistent. 3. You can use `set spark.paimon.branch=snapshot;`, but in this doc, can you just use `T$branch_snapshot`? This is the more recommended usage by the official.
