> Two tables should _not_ share the same location as `remove_orphan_files` procedure can clean the files not related to current table as orphan files. > > Table names can change (via rename). So, Iceberg identifies the table from table UUID field. Since the UUID of old and new table is same. Iceberg considers it as the same table. Table location doesn't change because of rename operation, it is opaque to Iceberg reader and writers. It just refers the current table location. Thx for reply. What I care more about is building a table with the same name as the old table after renaming it, this operation is not recommended, right? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
