Description

### Describe the subtask

Complete and document the five-family compatibility contract for the Hudi 0.15 catalog, whose current Gravitino surface is read-only.

**Compatibility outcomes**

- **Nanosecond timestamps:** Reject before backend invocation.
- **Variant:** Reject before backend invocation.
- **Unknown/Null:** Reject before backend invocation.
- **Geometry:** Reject before backend invocation.
- **Geography:** Reject before backend invocation.

**Acceptance**

- Reproduce all five families through the connector's public create/conversion path and its alter/load paths where supported.
- A supported mapping must round-trip without losing type identity or parameters.
- An unsupported mapping must return `IllegalArgumentException` before external metadata mutation; no fallback to a narrower or opaque type is allowed.
- Cover nested types where the connector supports complex columns.
- Add focused converter/operation tests and an integration or no-side-effect test appropriate to the connector.
- Update the connector documentation with a five-family compatibility matrix and rejection rationale.
- Keep implementation commits atomic by connector and type family.

**Connector-specific verification**

Reproduce through `HudiCatalogOperations.createTable`. Verify an in-memory backend is never called and no table exists afterward, then run the focused and full module suites.

**Documentation**

`docs/lakehouse-hudi-catalog.md`
