Please describe.**\nAt the moment, a user can skip feature view validation only through the Feast CLI during `feast apply`. We should update the Python SDK to allow skipping Feature View validation as well. \n\nWe should document that it's not encouraged but is permissible if the type/validation system is being overly strict. We should also mention to users to please feel free to report to us on github via an issue when they have a problem.\n\n**Describe the solution you'd like**\nAn update to `FeatureStore.apply(..., skip_validation=True)` and FV validation is skipped. This is particularly important for feature transformations that go through our validation (e.g., _construct_random_input in ODFVs)\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/franciscojavierarceo","@type":"Person","name":"franciscojavierarceo"},"datePublished":"2026-01-14T14:34:00.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/5857/feast/issues/5857"}
