> Currently when {{hive.metastore.disallow.incompatible.col.type.changes}} is
> set to true it disallows any schema changes which are deemed as backwards
> incompatible e.g dropping a column of a table. While this may be a correct
> thing to do for Parquet or Orc tables, it is too restrictive for storage
> formats like Kudu.
> Currently, for Kudu tables, Impala supports dropping a column. But if we set
> this config to true metastore disallows changing the schema of the metastore
> table. I am assuming this would be problematic for Iceberg tables too which
> supports such schema changes.
> The proposal is to have a new configuration which provided a exclusion list
> of the table fileformat where this check will be skipped. Currently, we will
> only include Kudu tables to skip this check.
