> I think we should have some more discussion around this. I would prefer to have, analog to SQL, a `CREATE OR REPLACE` API. This feels analogous to the SQL `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`, which allows applications to run the statement idempotently in a Production deployed code without throwing an exception. Hence I'd argue it fills in a different niche than CREATE OR REPLACE, which effectively replaces an existing table (which is exactly what we want to avoid doing). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
