arnaudbriche opened a new pull request, #1887:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/1887
This change allow making use of the `version-hint.text` file when a static
table is instantiated with a `metadata_location` not ending with
'.metadata.json'.
User can just point to the table location, and metadata file path will be
read from `version-hint.text`.
Closes #${763}
# Rationale for this change
`version-hint.text` is useful in context where you does not want or need a
full-fledge catalog.
Our use case is sharing datasets publicly as Iceberg tables on S3.
# Are these changes tested?
No yet.
# Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes. User can now points `StaticTable` to the table location rather than a
specific version file.
