+### Telemetry Configuration (Optional)
+
+The driver includes optional telemetry to help improve performance and reliability. Telemetry is **disabled by default** and requires explicit opt-in.
+
+**Opt-in to telemetry** (respects server-side feature flags):
+```
+token:[your token]@[Workspace hostname]:[Port number][Endpoint HTTP Path]?enableTelemetry=true
+```
+
+**Opt-out of telemetry** (explicitly disable):
+```
+token:[your token]@[Workspace hostname]:[Port number][Endpoint HTTP Path]?enableTelemetry=false
+```
+
+**Advanced configuration** (for testing/debugging):
+```
+token:[your token]@[Workspace hostname]:[Port number][Endpoint HTTP Path]?forceEnableTelemetry=true
+```
+
+**What data is collected:**
+- ✅ Query latency and performance metrics
+- ✅ Error codes (not error messages)
+- ✅ Feature usage (CloudFetch, LZ4, etc.)
+- ✅ Driver version and environment info
+
+**What is NOT collected:**
+- ❌ SQL query text
+- ❌ Query results or data values
+- ❌ Table/column names
+- ❌ User identities or credentials
+
+Telemetry has < 1% performance overhead and uses circuit breaker protection to ensure it never impacts your queries. For more details, see `telemetry/DESIGN.md` and `telemetry/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`.

+- Low opt-out rate
+
+**Duration:** 6-8 weeks
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Flags Summary
+
+### Flag Priority (Highest to Lowest)
+
+1. **forceEnableTelemetry=true** - Force enable (internal only)
+   - Bypasses all server checks
+   - Always enabled
+   - Use case: Internal testing, debugging
+
+2. **enableTelemetry=false** - Explicit opt-out
+   - Always disabled
+   - Use case: User wants to disable telemetry
+
+3. **enableTelemetry=true + Server Feature Flag** - User opt-in with server control
+   - User wants telemetry
+   - Server decides if allowed
+   - Use case: Beta opt-in phase
+
+4. **Server Feature Flag Only** - Server-controlled (default)
+   - No explicit user preference
+   - Server controls enablement
+   - Use case: Controlled rollout
+
+5. **Default** - Disabled
+   - No configuration
+   - Telemetry off by default
+   - Use case: New installations
+
+### Configuration Examples
+
+**Internal Testing:**
+```go
+import (
+	"database/sql"
+	_ "github.com/databricks/databricks-sql-go"
+)
+
+// Force enable for testing
+db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
+	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true")
+```
+
+**Beta Opt-In:**
+```go
+// Opt-in to beta (respects server flags)
+db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
+	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=true")
+```
+
+**Explicit Opt-Out:**
+```go
+// User wants to disable telemetry
+db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
+	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false")
+```
+
+**Default (Server-Controlled):**
+```go
+// No telemetry parameter - server decides
+db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
+	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Key Metrics to Monitor
+
+**Performance Metrics:**
+- Query latency (p50, p95, p99)
+- Memory usage
+- CPU usage
+- Goroutine count
+
+**Reliability Metrics:**
+- Driver error rate
+- Connection success rate
+- Circuit breaker state transitions
+- Telemetry export success rate
+
+**Business Metrics:**
+- Feature adoption (CloudFetch, LZ4, etc.)
+- Common error patterns
+- Query performance distribution
+
+### Alerting Thresholds
+
+**Critical Alerts:**
+- Query latency increase > 5%
+- Driver error rate increase > 2%
+- Memory leak detected (growing > 10% over 24h)
+
+**Warning Alerts:**
+- Telemetry export failure rate > 10%
+- Circuit breaker open for > 5 minutes
+- Feature flag fetch failures > 5%
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Procedures
+
+### Quick Disable (Emergency)
+
+**Server-Side:**
+```
+Set feature flag to false:
+databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver = false
+```
+- Takes effect immediately for new connections
+- Existing connections will respect the flag on next fetch (15 min TTL)
+
+**Client-Side Workaround:**
+```go
+// Users can add this parameter to disable immediately
+enableTelemetry=false
+```
+
+### Rollback Steps
+
+1. **Disable Feature Flag** - Turn off server-side flag
+2. **Monitor Impact** - Watch for metrics to return to baseline
+3. **Investigate Issue** - Analyze logs and telemetry data
+4. **Fix and Redeploy** - Address root cause
+5. **Re-enable Gradually** - Restart rollout from Phase 1
+
+### Communication Plan
+
+**Internal:**
+- Slack notification to #driver-alerts
+- PagerDuty alert for on-call engineer
+- Incident report in wiki
+
+**External (if needed):**
+- Support article on workaround
+- Release notes mention (if applicable)
+- Direct communication to beta users

+# Telemetry Troubleshooting Guide
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Issue: Telemetry Not Working
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- No telemetry data appearing in monitoring dashboards
+- Metrics not being collected
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Check if telemetry is enabled:**
+   ```go
+   // Add this to your connection string to force enable
+   dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true"
+   ```
+
+2. **Check server-side feature flag:**
+   - Feature flag may be disabled on the server
+   - Contact your Databricks admin to verify flag status
+
+3. **Check circuit breaker state:**
+   - Circuit breaker may have opened due to failures
+   - Check logs for "circuit breaker" messages
+
+4. **Verify network connectivity:**
+   - Ensure driver can reach telemetry endpoint
+   - Check firewall rules for outbound HTTPS
+
+**Solution:**
+- Use `forceEnableTelemetry=true` to bypass server checks
+- If circuit is open, wait 30 seconds for it to reset
+- Check network connectivity and firewall rules
+
+---
+
+### Issue: High Memory Usage
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Memory usage growing over time
+- Out of memory errors
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Check if metrics are being flushed:**
+   - Default flush interval: 5 seconds
+   - Default batch size: 100 metrics
+
+2. **Check circuit breaker state:**
+   - If circuit is open, metrics may be accumulating
+   - Check logs for repeated export failures
+
+3. **Monitor goroutine count:**
+   - Use `runtime.NumGoroutine()` to check for leaks
+   - Each connection should have 1 flush goroutine
+
+**Solution:**
+- Reduce batch size if needed: `telemetry_batch_size=50`
+- Reduce flush interval if needed: `telemetry_flush_interval=3s`
+- Disable telemetry temporarily: `enableTelemetry=false`
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Performance Degradation
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Queries running slower than expected
+- High CPU usage
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Measure overhead:**
+   - Run benchmark tests to measure impact
+   - Expected overhead: < 1%
+
+2. **Check if telemetry is actually enabled:**
+   - Telemetry should be nearly zero overhead when disabled
+   - Verify with `enableTelemetry` parameter
+
+3. **Check export frequency:**
+   - Too frequent exports may cause overhead
+   - Default: 5 second flush interval
+
+**Solution:**
+- Disable telemetry if overhead > 1%: `enableTelemetry=false`
+- Increase flush interval: `telemetry_flush_interval=10s`
+- Increase batch size: `telemetry_batch_size=200`
+- Report issue to Databricks support
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Circuit Breaker Always Open
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- No telemetry data being sent
+- Logs showing "circuit breaker is open"
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Check telemetry endpoint health:**
+   - Endpoint may be experiencing issues
+   - Check server status page
+
+2. **Check network connectivity:**
+   - DNS resolution working?
+   - HTTPS connectivity to endpoint?
+
+3. **Check error rates:**
+   - Circuit opens at 50% failure rate (after 20+ calls)
+   - Check logs for HTTP error codes
+
+**Solution:**
+- Wait 30 seconds for circuit to attempt recovery (half-open state)
+- Fix network connectivity issues
+- If endpoint is down, circuit will protect driver automatically
+- Once endpoint recovers, circuit will close automatically
+
+---
+
+### Issue: "Rate Limited" Errors
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors
+- Telemetry export failing
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Check if using per-host client sharing:**
+   - Multiple connections to same host should share one client
+   - Verify clientManager is working correctly
+
+2. **Check export frequency:**
+   - Too many exports may trigger rate limiting
+   - Default: 5 second flush interval
+
+3. **Check batch size:**
+   - Too small batches = more requests
+   - Default: 100 metrics per batch
+
+**Solution:**
+- Per-host sharing should prevent rate limiting
+- If rate limited, circuit breaker will open automatically
+- Increase batch size: `telemetry_batch_size=200`
+- Increase flush interval: `telemetry_flush_interval=10s`
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Resource Leaks
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Growing number of goroutines
+- File descriptors increasing
+- Memory not being released
+
+**Diagnostic Steps:**
+
+1. **Check connection cleanup:**
+   - Ensure `db.Close()` is being called
+   - Check for leaked connections
+
+2. **Check telemetry cleanup:**
+   - Each closed connection should release resources
+   - Reference counting should clean up per-host clients
+
+3. **Monitor goroutines:**
+   ```go
+   import "runtime"
+
+   fmt.Printf("Goroutines: %d\n", runtime.NumGoroutine())
+   ```
+
+**Solution:**
+- Always call `db.Close()` when done
+- Use `defer db.Close()` to ensure cleanup
+- Report persistent leaks to Databricks support
+
+---
+
+## Diagnostic Commands
+
+### Check Telemetry Configuration
+
+```go
+import (
+	"database/sql"
+	"fmt"
+	_ "github.com/databricks/databricks-sql-go"
+)
+
+func checkConfig() {
+	// This will log configuration at connection time
+	db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
+		"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true")
+	if err != nil {
+		fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
+		return
+	}
+	defer db.Close()
+
+	// Run a test query
+	var result int
+	err = db.QueryRow("SELECT 1").Scan(&result)
+	if err != nil {
+		fmt.Printf("Query error: %v\n", err)
+	} else {
+		fmt.Printf("Query successful, result: %d\n", result)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Force Enable for Testing
+
+```go
+// Add to connection string
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true"
+```
+
+### Force Disable for Testing
+
+```go
+// Add to connection string
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
+```
+
+### Check Circuit Breaker State
+
+Circuit breaker state is internal, but you can infer it from behavior:
+- If metrics suddenly stop being sent: circuit likely open
+- Wait 30 seconds for half-open state
+- Successful requests will close circuit
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Reduce Telemetry Overhead
+
+If telemetry is causing performance issues (should be < 1%):
+
+```go
+// Option 1: Disable completely
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
+
+// Option 2: Reduce frequency
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?" +
+	"telemetry_flush_interval=30s&" +
+	"telemetry_batch_size=500"
+```
+
+### Optimize for High-Throughput
+
+For applications with many connections:
+
+```go
+// Increase batch size to reduce request frequency
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?" +
+	"telemetry_batch_size=1000&" +
+	"telemetry_flush_interval=10s"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Debugging Tools
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+The driver uses structured logging. Check your application logs for telemetry-related messages at TRACE or DEBUG level.
+
+### Run Benchmark Tests
+
+```bash
+cd telemetry
+go test -bench=. -benchmem
+```
+
+Expected results:
+- BenchmarkInterceptor_Overhead_Enabled: < 1000 ns/op
+- BenchmarkInterceptor_Overhead_Disabled: < 100 ns/op
+
+### Run Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+cd telemetry
+go test -v -run Integration
+```
+
+All integration tests should pass.
+
+---
+
+## Privacy Concerns

+### How to Verify?
+
+The `shouldExportToDatabricks()` function in `telemetry/tags.go` controls what's exported. Review this file to see exactly what tags are allowed.
+
+### Complete Opt-Out
+
+```go
+// Add to connection string
+dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
+```
+
+This completely disables telemetry collection and export.

+
+## Emergency Disable
+
+If telemetry is causing critical issues:
+
+### Immediate Workaround (Client-Side)
+
+```go
+// Add this parameter to all connection strings
+enableTelemetry=false
+```
+
+### Server-Side Disable (Databricks Admin)
+
+Contact Databricks support to disable the server-side feature flag:
+```
+databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver = false
+```
+
+This will disable telemetry for all connections.
+

+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: Does telemetry impact query performance?**
+A: No, telemetry overhead is < 1% and all operations are async.
+
+**Q: Can I disable telemetry completely?**
+A: Yes, use `enableTelemetry=false` in your connection string.
+
+**Q: What happens if the telemetry endpoint is down?**
+A: The circuit breaker will open and metrics will be dropped. Your queries are unaffected.
+
+**Q: Does telemetry collect my SQL queries?**
+A: No, SQL query text is never collected.
+
+**Q: How long are metrics retained?**
+A: This is controlled by Databricks backend, typically 90 days.
+
+**Q: Can I see my telemetry data?**
+A: Telemetry data is used for product improvements and is not directly accessible to users.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Rebase onto updated PR #320; remove ForceEnableTelemetry;
 fix test alignment

- Remove ForceEnableTelemetry from telemetry Config, driver_integration.go,
  and all call sites (connector.go)
- Update feature flag tests to use new connector-service endpoint format
  ({"flags": [{"name": ..., "value": ...}]} instead of {"flags": {...}})
- Update exporter/integration tests to use new TelemetryRequest payload format
- Update config/connector tests to reflect EnableTelemetry=true default
- Fix rows_test.go NewRows calls to include telemetryCtx and telemetryUpdate args

-# Telemetry Launch Plan
-
-## Overview
-
-This document outlines the phased rollout strategy for the Go driver telemetry system. The rollout follows a gradual approach to ensure reliability and user control.
-
-## Launch Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Internal Testing (forceEnableTelemetry=true)
-
-**Target Audience:** Databricks internal users and development teams
-
-**Configuration:**
-```go
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true"
-```
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Bypasses all server-side feature flag checks
-- Always enabled regardless of server configuration
-- Used for internal testing and validation
-- Not exposed to external customers
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-- No impact on driver reliability or performance
-- Telemetry data successfully collected and exported
-- Circuit breaker correctly protects against endpoint failures
-- No memory leaks or resource issues
-
-**Duration:** 2-4 weeks
-
----
-
-### Phase 2: Beta Opt-In (enableTelemetry=true)
-
-**Target Audience:** Early adopter customers who want to help improve the driver
-
-**Configuration:**
-```go
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=true"
-```
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Respects server-side feature flags
-- User explicitly opts in
-- Server can enable/disable via feature flag
-- Can be disabled by user with `enableTelemetry=false`
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-- Positive feedback from beta users
-- < 1% performance overhead
-- No increase in support tickets
-- Valuable metrics collected for product improvements
-
-**Duration:** 4-8 weeks
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: Controlled Rollout (Server-Side Feature Flag)
-
-**Target Audience:** General customer base with gradual percentage rollout
-
-**Configuration:**
-- No explicit DSN parameter needed
-- Controlled entirely by server-side feature flag
-- Users can opt-out with `enableTelemetry=false`
-
-**Rollout Strategy:**
-1. **5% rollout** - Monitor for issues (1 week)
-2. **25% rollout** - Expand if no issues (1 week)
-3. **50% rollout** - Majority validation (2 weeks)
-4. **100% rollout** - Full deployment
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-- No increase in error rates
-- Stable performance metrics
-- Valuable insights from collected data
-- Low opt-out rate
-
-**Duration:** 6-8 weeks
-
----
-
-## Configuration Flags Summary
-
-### Flag Priority (Highest to Lowest)
-
-1. **forceEnableTelemetry=true** - Force enable (internal only)
-   - Bypasses all server checks
-   - Always enabled
-   - Use case: Internal testing, debugging
-
-2. **enableTelemetry=false** - Explicit opt-out
-   - Always disabled
-   - Use case: User wants to disable telemetry
-
-3. **enableTelemetry=true + Server Feature Flag** - User opt-in with server control
-   - User wants telemetry
-   - Server decides if allowed
-   - Use case: Beta opt-in phase
-
-4. **Server Feature Flag Only** - Server-controlled (default)
-   - No explicit user preference
-   - Server controls enablement
-   - Use case: Controlled rollout
-
-5. **Default** - Disabled
-   - No configuration
-   - Telemetry off by default
-   - Use case: New installations
-
-### Configuration Examples
-
-**Internal Testing:**
-```go
-import (
-	"database/sql"
-	_ "github.com/databricks/databricks-sql-go"
-)
-
-// Force enable for testing
-db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
-	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true")
-```
-
-**Beta Opt-In:**
-```go
-// Opt-in to beta (respects server flags)
-db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
-	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=true")
-```
-
-**Explicit Opt-Out:**
-```go
-// User wants to disable telemetry
-db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
-	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false")
-```
-
-**Default (Server-Controlled):**
-```go
-// No telemetry parameter - server decides
-db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
-	"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc")
-```
-
----
-
-## Monitoring
-
-### Key Metrics to Monitor
-
-**Performance Metrics:**
-- Query latency (p50, p95, p99)
-- Memory usage
-- CPU usage
-- Goroutine count
-
-**Reliability Metrics:**
-- Driver error rate
-- Connection success rate
-- Circuit breaker state transitions
-- Telemetry export success rate
-
-**Business Metrics:**
-- Feature adoption (CloudFetch, LZ4, etc.)
-- Common error patterns
-- Query performance distribution
-
-### Alerting Thresholds
-
-**Critical Alerts:**
-- Query latency increase > 5%
-- Driver error rate increase > 2%
-- Memory leak detected (growing > 10% over 24h)
-
-**Warning Alerts:**
-- Telemetry export failure rate > 10%
-- Circuit breaker open for > 5 minutes
-- Feature flag fetch failures > 5%
-
----
-
-## Rollback Procedures
-
-### Quick Disable (Emergency)
-
-**Server-Side:**
-```
-Set feature flag to false:
-databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver = false
-```
-- Takes effect immediately for new connections
-- Existing connections will respect the flag on next fetch (15 min TTL)
-
-**Client-Side Workaround:**
-```go
-// Users can add this parameter to disable immediately
-enableTelemetry=false
-```
-
-### Rollback Steps
-
-1. **Disable Feature Flag** - Turn off server-side flag
-2. **Monitor Impact** - Watch for metrics to return to baseline
-3. **Investigate Issue** - Analyze logs and telemetry data
-4. **Fix and Redeploy** - Address root cause
-5. **Re-enable Gradually** - Restart rollout from Phase 1
-
-### Communication Plan
-
-**Internal:**
-- Slack notification to #driver-alerts
-- PagerDuty alert for on-call engineer
-- Incident report in wiki
-
-**External (if needed):**
-- Support article on workaround
-- Release notes mention (if applicable)
-- Direct communication to beta users
-

-# Telemetry Troubleshooting Guide
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Issue: Telemetry Not Working
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- No telemetry data appearing in monitoring dashboards
-- Metrics not being collected
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Check if telemetry is enabled:**
-   ```go
-   // Add this to your connection string to force enable
-   dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true"
-   ```
-
-2. **Check server-side feature flag:**
-   - Feature flag may be disabled on the server
-   - Contact your Databricks admin to verify flag status
-
-3. **Check circuit breaker state:**
-   - Circuit breaker may have opened due to failures
-   - Check logs for "circuit breaker" messages
-
-4. **Verify network connectivity:**
-   - Ensure driver can reach telemetry endpoint
-   - Check firewall rules for outbound HTTPS
-
-**Solution:**
-- Use `forceEnableTelemetry=true` to bypass server checks
-- If circuit is open, wait 30 seconds for it to reset
-- Check network connectivity and firewall rules
-
----
-
-### Issue: High Memory Usage
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Memory usage growing over time
-- Out of memory errors
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Check if metrics are being flushed:**
-   - Default flush interval: 5 seconds
-   - Default batch size: 100 metrics
-
-2. **Check circuit breaker state:**
-   - If circuit is open, metrics may be accumulating
-   - Check logs for repeated export failures
-
-3. **Monitor goroutine count:**
-   - Use `runtime.NumGoroutine()` to check for leaks
-   - Each connection should have 1 flush goroutine
-
-**Solution:**
-- Reduce batch size if needed: `telemetry_batch_size=50`
-- Reduce flush interval if needed: `telemetry_flush_interval=3s`
-- Disable telemetry temporarily: `enableTelemetry=false`
-
----
-
-### Issue: Performance Degradation
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Queries running slower than expected
-- High CPU usage
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Measure overhead:**
-   - Run benchmark tests to measure impact
-   - Expected overhead: < 1%
-
-2. **Check if telemetry is actually enabled:**
-   - Telemetry should be nearly zero overhead when disabled
-   - Verify with `enableTelemetry` parameter
-
-3. **Check export frequency:**
-   - Too frequent exports may cause overhead
-   - Default: 5 second flush interval
-
-**Solution:**
-- Disable telemetry if overhead > 1%: `enableTelemetry=false`
-- Increase flush interval: `telemetry_flush_interval=10s`
-- Increase batch size: `telemetry_batch_size=200`
-- Report issue to Databricks support
-
----
-
-### Issue: Circuit Breaker Always Open
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- No telemetry data being sent
-- Logs showing "circuit breaker is open"
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Check telemetry endpoint health:**
-   - Endpoint may be experiencing issues
-   - Check server status page
-
-2. **Check network connectivity:**
-   - DNS resolution working?
-   - HTTPS connectivity to endpoint?
-
-3. **Check error rates:**
-   - Circuit opens at 50% failure rate (after 20+ calls)
-   - Check logs for HTTP error codes
-
-**Solution:**
-- Wait 30 seconds for circuit to attempt recovery (half-open state)
-- Fix network connectivity issues
-- If endpoint is down, circuit will protect driver automatically
-- Once endpoint recovers, circuit will close automatically
-
----
-
-### Issue: "Rate Limited" Errors
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors
-- Telemetry export failing
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Check if using per-host client sharing:**
-   - Multiple connections to same host should share one client
-   - Verify clientManager is working correctly
-
-2. **Check export frequency:**
-   - Too many exports may trigger rate limiting
-   - Default: 5 second flush interval
-
-3. **Check batch size:**
-   - Too small batches = more requests
-   - Default: 100 metrics per batch
-
-**Solution:**
-- Per-host sharing should prevent rate limiting
-- If rate limited, circuit breaker will open automatically
-- Increase batch size: `telemetry_batch_size=200`
-- Increase flush interval: `telemetry_flush_interval=10s`
-
----
-
-### Issue: Resource Leaks
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Growing number of goroutines
-- File descriptors increasing
-- Memory not being released
-
-**Diagnostic Steps:**
-
-1. **Check connection cleanup:**
-   - Ensure `db.Close()` is being called
-   - Check for leaked connections
-
-2. **Check telemetry cleanup:**
-   - Each closed connection should release resources
-   - Reference counting should clean up per-host clients
-
-3. **Monitor goroutines:**
-   ```go
-   import "runtime"
-
-   fmt.Printf("Goroutines: %d\n", runtime.NumGoroutine())
-   ```
-
-**Solution:**
-- Always call `db.Close()` when done
-- Use `defer db.Close()` to ensure cleanup
-- Report persistent leaks to Databricks support
-
----
-
-## Diagnostic Commands
-
-### Check Telemetry Configuration
-
-```go
-import (
-	"database/sql"
-	"fmt"
-	_ "github.com/databricks/databricks-sql-go"
-)
-
-func checkConfig() {
-	// This will log configuration at connection time
-	db, err := sql.Open("databricks",
-		"host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true")
-	if err != nil {
-		fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
-		return
-	}
-	defer db.Close()
-
-	// Run a test query
-	var result int
-	err = db.QueryRow("SELECT 1").Scan(&result)
-	if err != nil {
-		fmt.Printf("Query error: %v\n", err)
-	} else {
-		fmt.Printf("Query successful, result: %d\n", result)
-	}
-}
-```
-
-### Force Enable for Testing
-
-```go
-// Add to connection string
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?forceEnableTelemetry=true"
-```
-
-### Force Disable for Testing
-
-```go
-// Add to connection string
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
-```
-
-### Check Circuit Breaker State
-
-Circuit breaker state is internal, but you can infer it from behavior:
-- If metrics suddenly stop being sent: circuit likely open
-- Wait 30 seconds for half-open state
-- Successful requests will close circuit
-
----
-
-## Performance Tuning
-
-### Reduce Telemetry Overhead
-
-If telemetry is causing performance issues (should be < 1%):
-
-```go
-// Option 1: Disable completely
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
-
-// Option 2: Reduce frequency
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?" +
-	"telemetry_flush_interval=30s&" +
-	"telemetry_batch_size=500"
-```
-
-### Optimize for High-Throughput
-
-For applications with many connections:
-
-```go
-// Increase batch size to reduce request frequency
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?" +
-	"telemetry_batch_size=1000&" +
-	"telemetry_flush_interval=10s"
-```
-
----
-
-## Debugging Tools
-
-### Enable Debug Logging
-
-The driver uses structured logging. Check your application logs for telemetry-related messages at TRACE or DEBUG level.
-
-### Run Benchmark Tests
-
-```bash
-cd telemetry
-go test -bench=. -benchmem
-```
-
-Expected results:
-- BenchmarkInterceptor_Overhead_Enabled: < 1000 ns/op
-- BenchmarkInterceptor_Overhead_Disabled: < 100 ns/op
-
-### Run Integration Tests
-
-```bash
-cd telemetry
-go test -v -run Integration
-```
-
-All integration tests should pass.
-
----
-
-## Privacy Concerns
-
-### What Data Is Collected?
-
-**Collected:**
-- Query latency (timing)
-- Error codes (numeric)
-- Feature usage (booleans)
-- Statement IDs (UUIDs)
-
-**NOT Collected:**
-- SQL query text
-- Query results
-- Table/column names
-- User identities
-- IP addresses
-
-### How to Verify?
-
-The `shouldExportToDatabricks()` function in `telemetry/tags.go` controls what's exported. Review this file to see exactly what tags are allowed.
-
-### Complete Opt-Out
-
-```go
-// Add to connection string
-dsn := "host:443/sql/1.0/warehouse/abc?enableTelemetry=false"
-```
-
-This completely disables telemetry collection and export.

-## Emergency Disable
-
-If telemetry is causing critical issues:
-
-### Immediate Workaround (Client-Side)
-
-```go
-// Add this parameter to all connection strings
-enableTelemetry=false
-```
-
-### Server-Side Disable (Databricks Admin)
-
-Contact Databricks support to disable the server-side feature flag:
-```
-databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver = false
-```
-
-This will disable telemetry for all connections.
-

-
-## FAQ
-
-**Q: Does telemetry impact query performance?**
-A: No, telemetry overhead is < 1% and all operations are async.
-
-**Q: Can I disable telemetry completely?**
-A: Yes, use `enableTelemetry=false` in your connection string.
-
-**Q: What happens if the telemetry endpoint is down?**
-A: The circuit breaker will open and metrics will be dropped. Your queries are unaffected.
-
-**Q: Does telemetry collect my SQL queries?**
-A: No, SQL query text is never collected.
-
-**Q: How long are metrics retained?**
-A: This is controlled by Databricks backend, typically 90 days.
-
-**Q: Can I see my telemetry data?**
-A: Telemetry data is used for product improvements and is not directly accessible to users.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Fix rows.NewRows calls to include telemetry parameters

After rebase, rows.NewRows signature now requires telemetry context
and callback for tracking chunk downloads. Updated both call sites
in QueryContext and staging operations to provide these parameters.
