A similar [spark procedure](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.5.1/spark-procedures/#add_files) has an equivalent flag `check_duplicate_files` and I feel that it could be useful because inspecting the files table requires us to read all of the active manifest files. If the user already knows that they won't be running into this issue, I think it would be useful for them to be able to disable this check. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
