An open-source storage framework that enables building a Lakehouse architecture with compute engines including Spark, PrestoDB, Flink, Trino, and Hive and APIs
This is for the python DeltaTableAPI, where we do not see provision to add columns comments for multiple columns
Overview
The method is missing feasibility to add multiple columns, same way we add individual columns.
Motivation
The feature will be used to create external tables to add multiple columns with all the fields supported by individual column method,
This would not differentiate between the 2 add methods.
Further details
I believe we need to have a column dictionary that would be supported by the delta table, and use this dictionary as an input for both methods.
