> Given that this type is for v3, wouldn't a v2 writer just blindly write this new type if it's being used anywhere and thus break forward compability? @nastra I don't think I understand your question, would you mind sharing an example? It seems to me that any writer that doesn't recognize a particular type (in this case `timestamp_ns` or `timestamptz_ns`) should fail when it reads the schema in the table metadata. How does the writer "blindly" write to an unimplemented type? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
