About OpenHouse
OpenHouse locks down its column-defaults capability flag as default values near completion.
OpenHouse shipped eleven builds (v0.5.529 to v0.5.539) in a week. The substantive work is a pluggable pre-commit check framework inside doCommit, built so column-default rules run on every commit path, and the first wiring of OpenHouseCatalog to the Views service. v0.5.539 makes the required-capability.column-defaults property immutable, and earlier builds added a tableExists endpoint, opt-in Spark SQL ALTER TABLE ... UNLOCK, and validation that blocks RTAS combined with WAP or replication.
