   @syun64 thanks for raising this. With the freshly merged write support, we 
can do:
   
   ```python
   cat = load_catalog('default')
   tbl = cat.load_table('default.some_table')
   
   tbl.overwrite(df: pa.Table)
   ```
   
   The overwrite will create a new snapshot with the existing schema. This 
would only replace the data, and keep the metadata. Would that work for you? 
The next step would be to automatically evolve the schema as well (with flags 
for compatible/incompatible changes).
