Research direction
Start by tracing the existing server-side schema-evolution handling for ALTER TABLE operations and identify its related tests. Add support for ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN in the server, then verify the behavior with the relevant schema-evolution tests. Keep Lake catalog DROP COLUMN and Spark connector ALTER DDL outside this scope.
