June 2025 — Apache Paimon (apache/paimon) delivered two major REST-related feature improvements with accompanying tests and API stability enhancements. Key changes: 1) Partition naming utility (PartitionUtils.buildPartitionName) and multi-level paged partition listing integrated into RESTCatalogServer, with new test testListPartitionsPagedWithMultiLevel. 2) REST API enhancement to return Identifier objects for global table/view listings, introducing ListTablesGloballyResponse and ListViewsGloballyResponse and aligning OpenAPI/specs. Minor internal stability improvement via hotfix to optimize return types (ListTablesGlobally & ListViewsGlobally). Impact: more robust and consistent API, easier client integration, better data representation for global listings, and improved support for multi-level partition queries.
