Especially in a world where we are potentially moving the work of doing table scans into the Rest Catalog, compacting manifests on write isn't important for this function that already looks to prioritize commit speed over anything else. I think it makes sense to leave the function to use _fast_append_ and let the users rely on other means of optimizing their table scans. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
