@JingsongLi Can I please have a review on this?

## Table API / SQL

When using Paimon tables via Flink SQL or Table API, lineage is automatically reported for both source and sink tables.

This reads as unconditional, but the note below says the Flink planner change needed to extract Paimon datasets from DataStreamScanProvider/DataStreamSinkProvider is still pending. Could we scope this to Flink versions that contain that upstream change, or phrase Table API/SQL lineage as partial until that PR is merged and released? Otherwise users may configure the listener and still get events missing the Paimon datasets.

@JingsongLi I have updated the note section and made it to a warning so that it is more explicit, can you please let me know if this is okay?
