########## format/spec.md: ########## @@ -450,21 +452,24 @@ Within `added1`, the first added manifest, each data file's `first_row_id` follo The `first_row_id` of the EXISTING file `data1` was already assigned, so the file metadata was copied into manifest `added1`. -Files `data2` and `data3` are written with `null` for `first_row_id` and are assigned `first_row_id` at read time based on the manifest's `first_row_id` and the `record_count` of previously listed ADDED files in this manifest: (1,000 + 0) and (1,000 + 50). +Files `data2` and `data3` are written with `null` for `first_row_id` and are assigned `first_row_id` at read time based on the manifest's `first_row_id` and the `record_count` of previous files without `first_row_id` in this manifest: (1,000 + 0) and (1,000 + 50). The snapshot then populates the total number of `added-rows` based on the sum of all added rows in the manifests: 100 (50 + 50) -When the new snapshot is committed, the table's `next-row-id` must also be updated (even if the new snapshot is not in the main branch). Because 225 rows were added (`added1`: 100 + `added2`: 0 + `added3`: 125), the new value is 1,000 + 225 = 1,225: +When the new snapshot is committed, the table's `next-row-id` must also be updated (even if the new snapshot is not in the main branch). Because 375 rows were in data files in manifests that were assigned a `first_row_id` (`added1` 100+25, `added2` 0+100, `added3` 125+25) the new value is 1,000 + 375 = 1,375. ##### Row Lineage for Upgraded Tables -Any snapshot without the field `first-row-id` does not have any lineage information and values for `_row_id` and `_last_updated_sequence_number` cannot be assigned accurately. +When a table is upgraded to v3, its `next-row-id` is initailized to 0 and existing snapshots are not modified (that is, `first-row-id` remains unset or null). For such snapshots without `first-row-id`, `first_row_id` values for data files and data manifests are null, and values for `_row_id` are read as null for all rows. When `first_row_id` is null, inherited row ID values are also null. + +Snapshots that are created after upgrading to v3 must set the snapshot's `first-row-id` and assign row IDs to existing and added files in the snapshot. When writing the manifest list, all data manifests must be assigned a `first_row_id`, which assigns a `first_row_id` to all data files via inheritance. + +Note that: -All files that were added before upgrading to v3 must propagate null for all row-lineage related -fields. The values for `_row_id` and `_last_updated_sequence_number` must always return null and when these rows are copied, -null must be explicitly written. After this point, rows are treated as if they were just created -and assigned `row_id` and `_last_updated_sequence_number` as if they were new rows. +* Snapshots created before upgrading to v3 do not have row IDs. Review Comment: I think we should add a note that, when reading from these snapshots all rows should return `null` (without inheritance as their value for "row_id" or "_last_updated_sequence_number" -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
