One of application of Calabi-ansatzAnsatz is choosing inital metric to run the Kahler RicciKahler–Ricci flow,. So if you want to usinguse minimal model program and apply Kahler RicciKahler–Ricci flow to find canonical metric study of such Calabi-ansatzAnsatz would be very important. In fact study of Calabi-ansatz giveAnsatz gives an effective way to find inital metric and its connection with semi-flat metric. The question is still open.
