Minor Idea: shall we use a switch to force REST impl executing "Table Operating API" locally?

[wojiaodoubao]

Lance namespace has defined "Table Operating API", including: QueryTable, UpdateTable, CreateTableIndex etc (https://lancedb.github.io/lance-namespace/spec/operations/describe-table/). In most impls (for example: hms), the table operation need to be done at the client-side. In the REST impl, they are done at the server-side, so the server might become a bottle-neck.

Sometimes, even though we use the REST impl, we only expect it to be a lightweight server that can manage catalog information, without needing to handle table operations.

So I was thinking, might be we can use a switch to force REST impl executing "Table Operating API" locally.
