Hi! we need this feature too.

Is there any update on this issue? Is it going to be supported?

I'm not familiar with this functionality since it's not defined in the protocol, but I believe this is referring to the GENERATE functionality.

I'm not opposed to having something added to `DeltaOps. @maloyuso or @sebastianfuchsprivate since nobody has picked this up, I think the two paths forward to think about would be:

• Getting involved and helping contribute the change (delta-rs is a volunteer project!) I can certainly offer some guidance on getting started. 🦀
• Having your employer(s) fund the work through contracting.

I run the consultancy referenced, but I am much more interested in helping mentor new contributors! 😄
