I think we should improve this in another way. I don't think we should set it to `-1` when it is missing: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-cpp/blob/ed49d1e8f0dc31d99d4fff437a6c1583a0dfced5/src/iceberg/json_internal.cc#L675 Instead, I would follow the same pattern as in Java. Where we assign them incrementally from 1000: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/7b8bd29ce80bc78ed882f0613f7570e78e325988/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/PartitionSpecParser.java#L137-L144 This is also suggested by the spec: <img width="733" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/812d798c-e76c-472c-b40b-3739e8c42e0b" /> In V1, it is not allowed to drop or re-order fields, so this will always be consistent: <img width="773" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ff81c87b-2da4-4bc2-8449-7679f8881ae1" /> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
