Basically when rewriting existing position deletes we need to know whether we need to rewrite them to V2 position deletes or to DVs by looking at the underlying format version of the table. A table that was upgraded to V3 can still have V2 position deletes, meaning that these would then have to be rewritten as DVs -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
