Hey @sebpretzer Thanks for reaching out. The IDs are re-assigned in a
pre-order fashion. This is to make sure that the IDs are set correctly when you
first create a table. After creating the table, the schema should be
automatically be updated.
In general the APIs are designed in such a way that you don't have to set
field-ids:
```python
with table.update_schema() as update:
update.add_column("retries", IntegerType(), "Number of retries to place
the bid")
```
Let me know if this answers the question, or if there is anything unclear.
