### Feature Request / Improvement In Spark SQL, we have the ability to combine the table overwrite using AS SELECT statement, with create_table or replace_table, as an atomic operation. Do we intend to support this feature with the same atomicity guarantee in PyIceberg? Since the PyIceberg client is in charge of writing out the manifests and table metadata file, I think it is technically possible. Would we just add `as_select: pa.Table = None` as an optional parameter to **create_table** and **replace_table** and add a snapshot update with full table static overwrite to the new table metadata? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
