Test-only change; looks reasonable and well-scoped (fresh statement per call, no option leakage, schema comparison unaffected by row filtering). One medium concern: the true+SPARK GetColumns assertion foundCatalogs.Count > 1 now depends on Metadata.Table existing in >1 catalog's default schema — the author flagged this and it needs a live E2E run to confirm before merge.

Sound intent (bounding a runaway GetColumns scan), but the fix keeps SchemaName hardcoded to "default" while filtering on Metadata.Table — a table conventionally paired with the per-run Metadata.Schema, not default. If the table isn't in default, the filtered scan returns 0 rows and fails both the softened SPARK assertion (>=1) and the unchanged strict main assertion (==1 + Contains("main")). Two medium concerns; the PR's own "needs live E2E validation" note is well-founded.
…iew) Reworks the fix per review on #629. Rather than filter GetColumns inside EnableMultipleCatalogSupportAffectsMetadataQueries (which kept the true+SPARK `foundCatalogs.Count > 1` assertion — the review flagged that a single-table filter only spans >1 catalog if that table name exists in multiple catalogs' default schema, which is NOT guaranteed and would turn the timeout into a deterministic assertion failure): - REMOVE GetColumns from the fanout test entirely. The SPARK→all-catalogs fanout it asserts is a connection-level behavior shared by every metadata surface, and GetTables/GetSchemas already prove it fast; GetColumns added only the columns×tables scan cost (13k+ tables → 30-min Thrift timeout) with no unique fanout coverage. The remaining GetCatalogs/GetSchemas/GetTables keep their Count>1 assertions unchanged (unfiltered, fast). - ADD GetColumnsRespectsMultipleCatalogSupport: bounded to the known fixture table (Metadata.Table), it asserts the workspace-INDEPENDENT fact — a filtered GetColumns on that table returns its columns (rowCount > 1) — under both EnableMultipleCatalogSupport settings. It deliberately does NOT assert cross-catalog fanout (that would reintroduce the unverified multi-catalog dependency); fanout stays covered by GetTables. Co-authored-by: Isaac

Verdict: 1 Low
Test-only change that bounds the two GetColumns scans in EnableMultipleCatalogSupportAffectsMetadataQueries with a TableName filter — a sound fix for the 30-minute CI hang. The new option (ApacheParameters.TableName) is honored on both Thrift and SEA paths, and the schema/column comparisons are unaffected by row filtering. One low concern: the SPARK filtered branch still requires foundCatalogs.Count >= 1 with no 0-row tolerance (unlike the new main tolerance), a data-dependent risk the author already flagged for live validation. Note also that softening the SPARK GetColumns assertion from >1 to >=1 removes multi-catalog-fanout verification from GetColumns; the author reasonably argues the unfiltered GetSchemas/GetTables still assert it strictly.
…wn fixture EnableMultipleCatalogSupportAffectsMetadataQueries hung the Thrift E2E leg to the 30-min CI cap: it ran GetColumns with only catalog + SchemaName="default" and no table filter, so on the shared workspace it enumerated the columns of every table in "default" (~14k) — a columns×tables scan. (SEA survived at ~8.5 min.) Fix: CREATE a small throwaway table in the SPARK-aliased hive_metastore.default — the exact catalog+schema this test queries — and filter the two GetColumns calls to it (dropped in finally). This bounds the scan to one table's columns. TestConfiguration.Metadata.Table could NOT be used: it lives in main.<other schema>, so a GetColumns(catalog=SPARK, schema=default) filtered to it returns ZERO rows (confirmed live) and would fail the assertion instead of the timeout. GetCatalogs/GetSchemas/GetTables stay unfiltered (fast; their catalog-count assertions rely on the full listing and still prove the SPARK→all-catalogs fanout). The filtered GetColumns assertions are relaxed accordingly: true+SPARK requires >= 1 catalog (the owned table lives in one catalog, not necessarily many), and true+non-SPARK requires 0 rows (the probe table is not in that catalog — itself the per-catalog scoping guarantee). Verified LIVE (thrift): both theory cases pass in 16s / 4s (was a 30-min hang), plus the FeatureFlagCache test in the same run. Co-authored-by: Isaac
…dedup) TestFeatureFlagCache_SingleExternalCallAcrossConnections asserted EXACTLY one external feature-flag fetch across 5 connections. Too strict: a healthy fetch gets a 15-min sliding TTL (all 5 share one → 1), but if the FIRST fetch hits a transient failure it is cached with a short 60s NEGATIVE TTL by design, so a later connection re-fetches → 2. The cache still dedups; the exact-1 assertion turned that designed-in retry into a flake (observed Expected 1 / Actual 2 in a #627 merge-queue run). Assert dedup instead: fetchCount >= 1, < connectionCount, and <= 2. Still fails if the cache genuinely stops deduping while tolerating one transient re-fetch. Verified LIVE (thrift): passes.

Test-only change that bounds an unfiltered GetColumns whole-schema scan to a single probe table to avoid the 30-min CI timeout, plus a feature-flag-cache assertion relaxation. Approach is sound and well-documented. Two non-blocking notes: the probe table hard-codes hive_metastore.default and relies on the SPARK→hive_metastore alias assumption (config-dependent, PR already flags live-run validation), and the filtered SPARK GetColumns assertion is weakened from >1 to >=1 catalogs.

Test-only change; the GetColumns bounding logic is sound (unique probe table, finally cleanup, CREATE outside the try, consistent minCatalogs/0-row assertions). Two notes: (1) one low inline concern on the residual flake in the bundled FeatureFlagCache <= 2 bound; (2) scope — the FeatureFlagCacheE2ETest assertion change is unrelated to the PR's stated GetColumns-bounding purpose and isn't mentioned in the description, so it's easy to miss in review. As the author flagged, the multi-catalog assertions need a live E2E run to confirm.

If we create the test table into 2 catalogs, here we should always expect houndCatalog count > 1, why are we relaxing the assertion?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
No code change needed — the premise ("we create the test table into 2 catalogs") doesn't match the setup. The probe table is created in exactly ONE catalog/schema, hive_metastore.default (StatementTests.cs:1034), not two. The relaxation to minCatalogs = 1 applies ONLY to the FILTERED GetColumns case (when tableName is non-empty), because that query is scoped to a single purpose-built table that lives in just one catalog's default schema — requiring >1 there would be a data-dependent/flaky failure. The strict >1 (multi-catalog fanout) assertion is NOT relaxed: for the UNFILTERED GetSchemas/GetTables listings (tableName == null), minCatalogs = 2 still applies, so the SPARK-alias cross-catalog fanout is asserted strictly. The filtered case still requires >=1, which is deterministic (a 0-row result there is a genuine regression the assertion is meant to catch). If we did instead create the probe in two catalogs, I'd agree >1 should be expected — but that's not the current setup, and doing so would raise the cost the single-table filter is there to bound.

Good call — reworked to do exactly that. The probe table is now created in the default schema of both hive_metastore and main, so the SPARK case keeps the strict foundCatalogs.Count > 1 assertion (no relaxation). Verified live on both protocols: SPARK filtered GetColumns returns 4 rows across {hive_metastore, main} (>1), while the non-SPARK main case returns 2 rows scoped to main only (proving per-catalog scoping with a real row instead of the empty-result special case, which is removed). Thrift completes in ~22s. Pushed in c8369bd.

⛔ NEEDS HUMAN DECISION — the bots can't resolve this thread; a maintainer's input is required.
Thread has converged — the reviewer's request (keep the strict foundCatalogs.Count > 1 assertion for the SPARK case rather than relaxing it) is already implemented and pushed in c8369bd. The current StatementTests.cs creates the probe table in BOTH hive_metastore.default and main.default (probeCatalogs = { "hive_metastore", "main" }), so the SPARK filtered GetColumns genuinely fans out across >1 catalog and the strict > 1 assertion is retained (no relaxation), while the non-SPARK main case asserts exactly one catalog with a real row (empty-result special case removed). Cleanup drops the probe from both catalogs. Nothing further to change here; flagging for human confirmation of the live-run verification since it requires a warehouse.

Agreed — and the current pushed code does keep the strict foundCatalogs.Count > 1 for the SPARK case (the earlier >= 1 relaxation was reverted; the probe is now created in both hive_metastore and main). So this thread's ask is satisfied in the code.
However, the latest merge-queue REST run still failed here with GetColumns ... found 1 catalog: main — hive_metastore did not come back. I want to be honest that I have NOT yet confirmed why, and it splits into two very different causes:
- Driver: the SEA GetColumns all-catalogs path can't use
SHOW COLUMNS IN ALL CATALOGS(unsupported), so it falls back to a client-side per-catalog loop (StatementExecutionConnection.ExecuteShowColumnsAsync, ~121 serialSHOW COLUMNS IN CATALOG <cat>calls) wrapped in a barecatch {}that silently swallows any failure — so a transient on the hive_metastore iteration would drop it with no signal. - Environment: CI runs as a service principal on a different warehouse; if that SP can't read
hive_metastore, the fanout correctly permission-skips it and my two-catalog assumption is simply wrong for the CI identity.
It passes locally on both protocols (found 2: {main, hive_metastore}) with my user identity, so I can't reproduce the failure locally. A re-run of the REST leg is the cheap discriminator: passes-on-retry → swallowed transient (driver robustness bug); fails-deterministically → SP permission (test must use catalogs the CI SP can read). I'll settle that before finalizing the assertion rather than guess.

⛔ NEEDS HUMAN DECISION — the bots can't resolve this thread; a maintainer's input is required.
The thread's original ask (retain strict foundCatalogs.Count > 1 for the SPARK case, no relaxation) is already satisfied in pushed code (c8369bd). The reviewer's latest message is a mid-investigation status update, not a request for a change: they need a REST-leg CI re-run — which I cannot perform — to discriminate between two causes of the observed "found 1 catalog: main" failure: (1) a driver-robustness bug (the bare catch {} in StatementExecutionConnection.ExecuteShowColumnsAsync, lines ~995-1002, silently swallows ALL exceptions per-catalog, so a transient on the hive_metastore iteration is dropped with no signal), or (2) an environment issue (CI service principal lacks read access to hive_metastore, making the two-catalog assumption wrong for the CI identity). I intentionally did not apply a speculative narrowing of the catch: it would be correct for cause #1 but risks turning partial-result GetColumns into a thrown error for all all-catalogs callers if the CI identity hits a non-permission error class — a behavior change with blast radius that the reviewer explicitly wants to defer until the re-run settles the cause. Needs human judgment + a warehouse re-run; nothing further can be safely resolved in this PR here.

…able in two catalogs Addresses review feedback on #629: the previous revision created the GetColumns probe table in only hive_metastore.default and relaxed the SPARK assertion from foundCatalogs.Count > 1 to >= 1. That weakened the very property this test exists to verify — that the SPARK alias fans metadata out across multiple catalogs. Instead, create the same-named probe table in the "default" schema of BOTH hive_metastore and main. The SPARK alias resolves catalog to null (DatabricksConnection.HandleSparkCatalog), so a filtered GetColumns fans out and surfaces the probe from both catalogs — restoring the STRICT foundCatalogs.Count > 1 assertion for the SPARK case while still bounding the scan to a single table name (the 30-min Thrift hang fix). The non-SPARK "main" case now also finds the probe (rows scoped to main only), so the catalog-scoping branch is exercised with a real row instead of the special-cased empty-result assertion, which is removed. Verified live on BOTH protocols: SPARK filtered GetColumns returns 4 rows across {hive_metastore, main} (Count > 1); main returns 2 rows from {main} only; Thrift completes in ~22s (was hanging past the 30-min cap). Both parameterized cases pass. Co-authored-by: Isaac

Verdict: 1 Medium
Looks reasonable — the GetColumns bounding via a probe table plus a tableName filter is a sound approach, and the strict/relaxed catalog assertions are preserved. One medium concern: the probe-table CREATE loop runs outside the try/finally, so a partial-CREATE failure leaks a GUID-named table that later runs can't reclaim. Separately, the FeatureFlagCacheE2ETest assertion relaxation is unrelated to this PR's stated scope (bounding GetColumns) and would be cleaner as its own change; the author has also correctly flagged that the foundCatalogs.Count > 1 SPARK assertion still needs live E2E validation with the table filter applied.

Test-only PR; the core GetColumns-bounding approach is sound (fresh statement per call, filter scoped to the two GetColumns callers, finally-based probe cleanup). One medium concern: the false+SPARK GetColumns case now silently depends on the probe table existing in the session's default catalog (only created in hive_metastore/main), which the PR's flagged-concern section doesn't cover. Also an unrelated FeatureFlagCache assertion change is bundled in without mention in the description.

🟡 Medium — The table filter adds a new hidden dependency to the false variant + SPARK case, which the PR description does not flag (it only flags the true+SPARK >1 assertion).
Walk-through for shouldAllowMultipleCatalogs=false, catalogName="SPARK":
HandleSparkCatalog()rewritesCatalogNametonull.- In
GetColumnsAsync, the empty-result short-circuit only triggers when!enableMultipleCatalogSupport && CatalogName != null. SinceCatalogNameis nownull, it delegates to the base query against the session default catalog, now filtered toprobeTable. - The false-branch assertion is
Assert.True(foundCatalogs.Count == 1, ...)(line 1181).
Previously this held because the unfiltered scan returned many rows from the default catalog. With the probe filter it now requires probeTable to exist in the default catalog's default schema. The probe is only created in hive_metastore and main (line 1035). If the workspace's default catalog is neither, the filtered GetColumns returns 0 rows and Count == 1 fails (would need to soften to Count <= 1, or ensure the probe covers the default catalog). Worth confirming against the live workspace default catalog alongside the true+SPARK concern already called out.

Good catch — you're right that the table filter adds a hidden dependency to the false+SPARK case too, and the PR description doesn't flag it. Walk-through confirms your reasoning: false+SPARK → HandleSparkCatalog rewrites catalog to null → the !enableMultipleCatalogSupport && CatalogName != null short-circuit does NOT fire (catalog is null) → filtered GetColumns runs against the session default catalog → Assert.True(foundCatalogs.Count == 1) now requires the probe to exist in the DEFAULT catalog's default schema.
On this workspace the session default catalog is hive_metastore (the false GetSchemas result shows found 1: hive_metastore), and I do create the probe in hive_metastore, so it currently passes — but only incidentally, exactly as you say. That's not guaranteed across workspaces/identities.
I'm holding the code change until I've confirmed the true+SPARK root cause (the still-failing found 1 catalog — transient-swallow vs. service-principal permission), because the fix for both branches is coupled: whichever catalogs I guarantee the probe lives in has to cover both the multi-catalog fanout (true case) and the session default catalog (false case). I'll make that dependency explicit rather than incidental when I finalize — e.g. create the probe in the session's default catalog too, or key the false-case assertion off the actual default catalog. Thanks for surfacing the coupling.

⛔ NEEDS HUMAN DECISION — the bots can't resolve this thread; a maintainer's input is required.
Reviewer's concern is valid and the maintainer (@eric-wang-1990) has explicitly agreed and taken ownership: he is holding the code change until he confirms the coupled true+SPARK root cause against the live workspace, and will make the probe/default-catalog dependency explicit himself when finalizing. The correct fix (probe the session default catalog, or key the false-case assertion off the actual default catalog) depends on a live-workspace investigation only the human can run. Additionally the branch is in a merge queue on a protected branch, so pushes are rejected and no change can land here. Converged + needs-human; flagging for the maintainer already on it.

🔵 Low — This assertion change (relaxing Assert.Equal(1, fetchCount) to a dedup-invariant range) is an unrelated flake fix in a different test file, bundled into a PR whose stated scope is bounding the GetColumns scan. It isn't mentioned in the PR description. Consider splitting it into its own commit/PR so the change is reviewed on its own merits and the history stays bisectable.
Minor correctness note on the new invariant itself: with connectionCount = 5, fetchCount < connectionCount still assumes at least one dedup occurs. The comment argues transient failures cache a 60s negative TTL — but since all 5 connections open within seconds (well under 60s), a negative entry would be served from cache rather than re-fetched, so the described "legitimately re-fetches under the negative TTL" path can't actually fire within this loop. The invariant is fine in practice; the justifying comment overstates the re-fetch scenario.

Nothing in the thread demonstrates the concern was wrong, so I'm leaving this open for a human to either split the assertion relaxation into its own PR or trim the comment: within a 5-connection loop opening well under the 60s negative TTL, a failed fetch's negative entry is served from cache rather than re-fetched, so the "re-fetches under the negative TTL" rationale can't actually fire.

⛔ NEEDS HUMAN DECISION — the bots can't resolve this thread; a maintainer's input is required.
Reviewer's correctness note is valid: with a 60s ABSOLUTE negative TTL (FeatureFlagCache.GetOrCreateContextAsync -> SetAbsoluteExpiration(DefaultNegativeTtl)) and a cache-hit fast path that returns without fetching, all 5 connections open well under 60s, so a failed fetch's negative entry is served from cache, not re-fetched within the loop — the comment's "re-fetches under the negative TTL" path can't fire here and should be trimmed. The invariant fetchCount < connectionCount itself is fine. However, I cannot action it: (1) the reviewer's primary ask — split this unrelated assertion relaxation into its own PR — is an out-of-band separate-PR change that cannot ride in this PR; and (2) the branch is locked in a merge queue, so all prior push attempts were rejected (protected-branch hook) and reverted, meaning even the comment trim cannot be pushed from here. Converged after four round-trips — flagging for a human to either dequeue and trim the comment or split the change into its own PR.

Agreed on both points. The FeatureFlagCache assertion change is genuinely unrelated to bounding the GetColumns scan — it got bundled in as a same-category flake fix, but you're right it should be its own PR for bisectability and independent review. I'll split it out.
And thanks for the correctness note on the justifying comment: you're correct that with all 5 connections opening within seconds (well under the 60s negative TTL), a negative-cache entry would be served rather than re-fetched, so the 'legitimately re-fetches under the negative TTL' scenario can't actually fire within this loop. The fetchCount >= 1 && < connectionCount dedup invariant is still the right assertion, but I'll correct the comment to not overstate that path when I move it to its own PR.

⛔ NEEDS HUMAN DECISION — the bots can't resolve this thread; a maintainer's input is required.
Converged with maintainer sign-off. eric-wang-1990 agreed on both points and took ownership: he will split the unrelated FeatureFlagCache assertion relaxation into its own PR and correct the overstated negative-TTL comment there. Neither can be actioned in this PR — splitting is by definition a separate-PR change, and the branch is locked in a merge queue so nothing (not even a comment trim) can be pushed from here. The fetchCount >= 1 && < connectionCount dedup invariant itself is agreed correct. Terminal: the remaining work lives in a human-owned follow-up PR.
…tColumns (#629) Temporary: for the bounded GetColumns probe, log each returned row's TABLE_CAT/TABLE_SCHEM/TABLE_NAME so we can see, on the CI service principal, what catalog label the hive_metastore probe rows actually carry (the REST leg saw 4 rows all attributed to 'main'). Confirms whether the server returns catalogName!=hive_metastore for that identity. Remove before merge. Co-authored-by: Isaac

Looks reasonable — the GetColumns bounding via a probe table plus optional tableName filter is sound, and the schema comparison (field-structure only, lines 1162–1175) is unaffected by the row filter. Two cleanups: a self-labeled "remove before merge" DIAG block was left in (F1), and a bundled FeatureFlagCache assertion change (out of scope for this test-bounding PR) left its docstring stale (F2). Note the author already flagged that the foundCatalogs.Count > 1 SPARK assertion needs a live E2E run to confirm the probe spans >1 catalog.

Looks reasonable — the GetColumns scan-bounding via a same-named probe table in two catalogs is a sound way to keep the strict multi-catalog (foundCatalogs.Count > 1) assertion meaningful while capping cost, and the non-SPARK/false branches stay consistent. Two low-severity notes: the FeatureFlagCacheE2ETest assertion relaxation is unrelated scope and loosens the invariant to < connectionCount, and the finally DROP loop can mask the original failure on a broken connection. As the author flagged, the strict >1 assertion still needs a live E2E run to confirm the probe surfaces in both hive_metastore.default and main.default.

Test-only PR; the GetColumns bounding change is sound and its cleanup/finally handling is careful. Two notes: (1) the test now requires DDL write access on two hard-coded catalogs with no Skip guard, which can turn a portability gap into a hard failure; (2) an unrelated feature-flag-cache assertion relaxation is bundled in and slightly weakens dedup coverage. Neither blocks merge — both worth a look before the live E2E validation the description calls for.

Reasonable test hardening — bounding the unfiltered GetColumns scan with a probe-table filter is the right fix for the CI timeout. One medium concern: the false+SPARK GetColumns branch now asserts foundCatalogs.Count == 1, which after filtering depends on the probe existing in whatever catalog SPARK-with-multicatalog-off resolves to (only validated for the true case in the description). Also an unrelated FeatureFlagCache assertion relaxation is bundled in (scope).

Looks good — a well-reasoned, test-only change. The GetColumns bounding via a per-catalog probe table is sound: schema comparison is field-shape based (unaffected by the filter), the assertion branches stay consistent with the filtered row-set, and the try/finally + Skip.If cleanup is correctly structured. One low-severity note on the deliberately weakened feature-flag-cache assertion. The author has already flagged that the foundCatalogs.Count > 1 SPARK fanout assertion needs live E2E confirmation, which is the right call before merge.

Reasonable, well-commented E2E test change that bounds the GetColumns scan via a two-catalog probe table with correct try/finally cleanup and a sensible Skip.If fallback for missing DDL access. Two non-blocking concerns: a temp [DIAG629] diagnostic block self-marked "Remove before merge" is still in the diff (medium), and an unrelated FeatureFlagCache assertion loosening rides along outside the PR's stated scope (low). Note also the author's own open question in the PR description — whether the foundCatalogs.Count > 1 SPARK GetColumns assertion holds with the probe filter — still needs a live E2E run to confirm.

🟡 Medium — This [DIAG629] diagnostic block is explicitly annotated "Remove before merge" by its own comment (line 1262), yet it is part of the diff being proposed for merge. It emits a per-row OutputHelper?.WriteLine for every GetColumns probe row and exists only to gather one-off CI evidence about how hive_metastore probe rows are labeled. Leaving it in permanently clutters E2E logs and contradicts the author's own intent. Either drop this block before merge or, if the diagnostic value is worth keeping, remove the "Remove before merge" wording and justify its permanence.

🔵 Low — This assertion loosening (Assert.Equal(1, fetchCount) → Assert.True(fetchCount >= 1 && fetchCount < connectionCount, ...)) is unrelated to the PR's stated scope of bounding the GetColumns scan in EnableMultipleCatalogSupportAffectsMetadataQueries. The de-flake itself is reasonable (negative-TTL re-fetches can legitimately exceed 1), but bundling an unrelated flaky-test fix into a test-scoped PR makes review and later git blame/revert harder. Consider splitting it into its own commit/PR, or at minimum note it in the PR description so it isn't a silent rider.
…ti-catalog probe
The SPARK-fanout assertion (foundCatalogs.Count > 1) failed on the CI service
principal: the probe was created in hive_metastore + main, but SHOW COLUMNS
reports the legacy metastore's columns under catalogName='main' for that
identity (confirmed via per-row diagnostic: 4 rows all TABLE_CAT='main'), so
hive_metastore collapsed into main and the fanout yielded only one distinct
catalog. Server-returned catalogName is the source of truth, so this is not a
driver bug — the test's choice of hive_metastore as the second catalog was
wrong for identities that merge it into main.
Fix: create the probe in `main` and a FRESH throwaway Unity Catalog catalog
created by the test (dropped CASCADE in teardown). A newly-created UC catalog is
always reported under its own name, so the two catalogs are guaranteed distinct
regardless of run identity — the strict >1 SPARK assertion holds.
Also create the probe in the session's default catalog (resolved at runtime via
current_catalog(), not assumed to be hive_metastore) so the
EnableMultipleCatalogSupport=false + SPARK case — which resolves catalog to the
session default — still finds the probe there (foundCatalogs.Count == 1).
Removes the temporary per-row diagnostic. Verified live on both Thrift and SEA:
both parameterized cases pass (SPARK finds {main, <fresh-catalog>} > 1; false
+SPARK finds the session-default probe == 1).

Solid, well-commented test change that correctly bounds the unfiltered GetColumns scan via the existing ApacheParameters.TableName option (verified real and honored on the metadata path) and preserves the existing catalog-scoping assertions. One medium concern: the probe-setup catch turns any exception into a green skip, which can mask real regressions. Two low notes: orphan probe tables in the shared default schema on swallowed cleanup, and an out-of-scope FeatureFlagCache assertion change bundled in.

🟡 Medium — The probe-setup block wraps CREATE CATALOG / CREATE SCHEMA / CREATE TABLE in a catch (Exception ex) that unconditionally converts any failure into Skip.If(true, ...). This is broader than the stated intent (identity lacks DDL permission → environmental skip). A genuine regression surfaced during setup — e.g. a driver bug in ExecuteUpdateAsync, a Thrift/SEA metadata-path fault, or a connection-level timeout on the create statements — would also be swallowed and reported as a green skip rather than a red failure. Since the whole point of this E2E is to preserve CI signal, that silently converts real breakage into a pass.
Consider narrowing the catch to the permission/authorization error class you actually expect (or matching on the message/error code) so unexpected exceptions still fail the build.

🔵 Low — The probe tables are created in the shared main.default (and the session-default catalog's default) — the same ~14k-table schema whose size motivated this PR — and cleanup is best-effort with swallowed exceptions in the finally. If the test body throws a connection-level timeout (exactly the failure mode this PR targets), the DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cleanup for main runs on the same possibly-degraded connection and may also fail, leaving GUID-named orphan probe tables accumulating in the shared default schema across runs. The throwaway UC catalog is self-contained (DROP CATALOG CASCADE), but the main/session-default probes are not. Worth noting even if acceptable for E2E — over time this adds to the very schema-bloat problem being worked around.

🔵 Low — Relaxing the feature-flag cache assertion from == 1 to a >=1 && < connectionCount range is unrelated to the PR's stated scope of bounding the GetColumns scan. The change itself is reasonable and well-documented, but bundling an independent flake fix under a test(csharp): bound GetColumns scan title makes the history harder to bisect/revert. Consider splitting it into its own PR, or at least calling it out in the description.

What
Bounds the
GetColumnsscan inStatementTests.EnableMultipleCatalogSupportAffectsMetadataQueriesso it can't hang the E2E job to the 30-minute CI cap.Why
The merge-queue run for #627 failed on E2E Tests (thrift) — but not from an assertion. The log shows a ~20-minute dead gap after
Testing GetColumns … CatalogName=SPARK, then the VSTest host killed atTime Elapsed 00:30:07(VSTestTask returned false but did not log an error= host killed at the time limit, no test reported). E2E (rest/SEA) passed the same test — but slowly (truevariant 8m30s), confirming it's a shared performance time-bomb, worse on Thrift.Root cause: the test calls
GetColumnswith only catalog +SchemaName="default"and no table filter. On the shared workspace thedefaultschema holds ~13,983 tables (per the log'sGetTables returned 13983 rows), so unfilteredGetColumnsis a columns×tables scan the test then streams cell-by-cell. Cost tracks the live workspace's schema size, so it trips intermittently. Not a #627 regression — #627 only touches GEOMETRY/GEOGRAPHY type parsing and doesn't touch this test.How
Filter the two
GetColumnscalls to a single known table (TestConfiguration.Metadata.Table— the same table other E2E metadata tests already use), via a new optionaltableNameparam onTestMetadataQuery.GetCatalogs/GetSchemas/GetTablesstay unfiltered (fast; their catalog-count assertions rely on the full listing). The catalog-scoping the GetColumns cases verify only inspects theTABLE_CATcolumn, so a bounded result exercises the same logic at deterministic cost.Validation
Needs a live E2E run to confirm — in particular that the
true+SPARK GetColumns case still sees rows from >1 catalog (thefoundCatalogs.Count > 1assertion) with the table filter applied. IfMetadata.Tabledoesn't span multiple catalogs'defaultschema, that assertion would need to soften to>= 1for the GetColumns case; flagging so a reviewer with workspace context can confirm before merge.This pull request and its description were written by Isaac.
