### Query engine Flink ### Question Hello, I searched the documentation as much as possible but couldn't find the decisive answer. We have a Flink Streaming pipeline that writes to the Iceberg table. The table has upsert enabled and uses a Copy-On-Write merge strategy. When checking the latest snapshot, we still see a lot of deleted files being created. The Flink streaming pipeline commits every minute. My question is, is it still normal to create delete files even with Copy-on-Write being used? Table properties: ``` write.upsert.enabled=true, write.parquet.compression-codec=zstd, format-version=2, write.metadata.delete-after-commit.enabled=true, history.expire.min-snapshots-to-keep=5, history.expire.max-snapshot-age-ms=3600000, write.metadata.previous-versions-max=50, write.parquet.bloom-filter-enabled.column._source_metadata_key=true, write.target-file-size-bytes=536870912, write.object-storage.enabled=true, write.metadata.metrics.column.payload=none, commit.manifest.min-count-to-merge=50 ``` Table schema: ``` 'table { 0: _source_metadata_key: required string (id) 1: _source_metadata_split_id: required int 2: _source_metadata_offset: required long 3: _source_metadata_created_at: required timestamptz 4: payload: required string 5: time: optional timestamptz 6: time_month: optional date }' with partitionSpec '[ 1000: submit_time_month: identity(6) ]' ``` Equality field names `[_source_metadata_key, time_month]` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
