Also from slack, Sung: This is actually an issue with some of the older Java applications making the incorrect assumption that the current_snapshot_id is a required field. As [@Kevin Liu](https://apache-iceberg.slack.com/team/U04B700Q8AY) noted, this is an optional attribute in the Spec. In PyIceberg, we do have an env variable you can set on your application that will force your application to write metadata files with '-1' as the current_snapshot_id to circumvent this issue. It's a hack, but it works in creating files that are compatible with these older Java applications. Please let me know if that's helpful! https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/473 The official documentation on this property is listed here: https://py.iceberg.apache.org/configuration/#backward-compatibility -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
