   > I'm a bit lost in the context. If I run this action without copying the 
table (e.g. rewrite `s3` to `gcs`), isn't it in a corrupt status?
   
   @manuzhang Not really, since the rewritten files are stored in a staging 
directory, when you copy the new table to the new location you copy all the 
data files + the rewritten metadata files from the staging location and ignore 
the old metadata files. So the table in the old location will not be corrupted
