Rizxcviii opened a new issue, #13693: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/13693
### Feature Request / Improvement This is more of food-for-thought than a standard feature request. However it would be interesting to take a look at. When performing the standard `remove_orphan_files` stored proc, this tends to take a while to complete. Is there any way of tagging the orphaned objects to be gc later on via the S3 lifecycle policy? This would not only be an option that is appended to the `remove_orphan_files` stored proc, but can also be used within other operations as well, if we know that file is considered to be "orphaned" moving forwards. The reason I'm asking is we already perform this functionality for delete tags and create tags, so why not orphan tags? (Again, I'm not familiar with any internal workings of Iceberg) ### Query engine Spark ### Willingness to contribute - [ ] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [x] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
