Values for existing manifests must be preserved when writing a new manifest list. The value of `first_row_id` for delete manifests is always `null`. Review Comment: I updated this to be more clear: > The `first_row_id` is only assigned for new data manifests that do not have a `first_row_id`. That avoids assuming null because null isn't written for those manifests. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
