soumya-ghosh opened a new issue, #948:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/948
### Apache Iceberg version
main (development)
### Please describe the bug 🐞
Executing DDL operations on Iceberg table using Pyiceberg is not updating
`last-updated-ms` field in metadata file.
`last-updated-ms` field is updated correctly when using RestCatalog, but it
is not updated when using GlueCatalog, SqlCatalog (and possibly HiveCatalog as
well).
Sequence of operations/updates:
- Create table
- Append data
- Update schema - Add a column / add description for a column
- Set a table property
Although new metadata file is generated for each update, last-updated-ms is
not updated when changes are limited to metadata file only.
Sample code:
```python
catalog = load_catalog("glue", **glue_catalog_conf)
table = catalog.create_table(
"namespace.table1",
schema=Schema(
NestedField(1, "city", StringType(), required=False),
NestedField(2, "lat", DoubleType(), required=False),
NestedField(3, "long", DoubleType(), required=False),
),
)
df = pa.Table.from_pylist(. . .)
table.append(df)
with table.update_schema() as update:
update.add_column("country", StringType(), required=False)
with table.transaction() as txn:
txn.set_properties({"abc": "def"})
```
