Hi folks, We've previously discussed that each Polaris release should only ship the latest schema version(today we ship all historical schema versions). I don't remember who first raised this idea, perhaps Dmitri, but I think it's the right direction.
One natural prerequisite of only shiping the latest schema would be to remove the --schema-version option from the bootstrap command[1]. This option allows users to bootstrap a realm with a historical schema version. While this may be useful in a few niche cases, I don't think it provides enough value to justify the added complexity, especially since many new features are not usable with a historical schema. If people agree, I'd be happy to submit a PR for this change. 1. https://polaris.apache.org/releases/1.6.0/admin-tool/#bootstrapping-realms-and-principal-credentials Yufei
