> We can make schema() return an Iceberg schema with field id, but how important is it that a returned RecordBatch has field ids in metadata? Are we ok with not having field ids on RecordBatch#schema but only on MetadataTable#schema? Yes, that's alright. The field-IDs are internal to Iceberg, and when it goes to the engine it is based on the environment, SQL is position-based, while you could also [lookup by name](https://py.iceberg.apache.org/api/#union-by-name) in dataframes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
