> If you just want to save typing the catalog name when writing table names, you can set your custom catalog as the default catalog (See SQLConf.DEFAULT_CATALOG). SQLConf.V2_SESSION_CATALOG_IMPLEMENTATION is used to extend the v1 session catalog, not replace it.
I'm sorry, but I don't get this. The custom session catalog I use for V2_SESSION_CATALOG_IMPLEMENTATION is intended to go through a specific provider first (v2) and go back to call Spark's catalog if the table doesn't exist for the catalog. If this is not a design intention of V2_SESSION_CATALOG_IMPLEMENTATION then OK (probably should be documented somewhere), but the implementation doesn't receive any call for methods so it's no-op even if it is just designed to extend V1 session catalog. My understanding is, V1 commands leverage sparkSession.sessionState.catalog which doesn't seem to know about extended session catalog. It just uses ExternalCatalog which sticks to Spark built-in. That said, the functionality is only partially working. Is this a thing we should fix for Spark 3.0.2/3.1.0, or better to disable the feature until we ensure it works for all commands?
