Description
Resolves #1357
As streaming uses the latest schema to read historical data batches and column mapping schema changes (e.g. rename/drop column) can cause latest schema to diverge, we decided to temporarily completely block streaming read on column mapping tables before.
As a close follow up in this PR, we think it is at least possible to enable the following use cases:
Read from a column mapping table without rename or drop column operations.
Upgrade to column mapping tables.
Existing compatible schema change operations such as ADD COLUMN.
How was this patch tested?
New unit tests.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing changes?
