wypoon opened a new pull request, #9238: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/9238
Writing to a branch or tag is supported in Spark using a table identifier with `branch_<branchname>` or `tag_<tagname>`. Reading from the branch or tag is supported using the same kind of identifier, in addition to the `VERSION AS OF` syntax, but this is not documented. For consistency, users may prefer to read and write using the same syntax. We should document that they can. Note: When loading a table using identifiers with `snapshot_id_` and `at_timestamp` was implemented, this was considered an implementation detail and we did not expose it publicly (i.e., document it). However, since the `branch_` and `tag_` identifiers are used for writes and documented, we should expose them for reads as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
