@zeddit there is always a trade-off. Fast-append are quicker and are less likely to suffer from conflicts. Please check [this](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#snapshots) link, and go through the bullet points below the table. I personally think that potentially avoiding conflicts is more valuable than maintaining order. Not because I think maintaining order isn't valuable, but it is just very hard to do in a distributed environment (therefore sort-order isn't a hard guarantee, but it depends on the query-engine implementation). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
