> I'm not really sure what the implications of this are. I think the iceberg crate still has to assume that the location is not managed by the catalog in general. I think this comment by @JanKaul summarizes the issue. The answer to the question is: it depends. For the REST catalog, the metadata is managed by the catalog. For the rest (Hive, Glue, Dynamo, SQL etc) the metadata is managed by the crate. I think it is reasonable to make it optional. In [PyIceberg it is still required](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/python/pyiceberg/table/metadata.py#L135-L137), but that's mostly since we haven't seen any situation where it was missing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
