Description

Feature request

Which Delta project/connector is this regarding?

  • Spark
  • Standalone
  • Flink
  • Kernel
  • Other (fill in here)

Overview

We have mima checks for Spark, Standalone, and Flink, we should add them for Kernel before the next release.

The checks need to be enabled for the kernelApi and kernelDefaults projects in build.sbt. The MiMa settings for other projects are in https://github.com/delta-io/delta/blob/master/project/Mima.scala, we can mimic this for the kernel projects.

Research direction
Examine the existing Mima checks for Spark, Standalone, and Flink in `project/Mima.scala`. Understand how these checks are configured for each project. Then, apply similar settings to `kernelApi` and `kernelDefaults` projects in `build.sbt`. Ensure the checks are enabled correctly by reviewing the sbt build configuration.
