Branching can achieve the shallow copy behavior. One caveat with branch is that writer needs to remember to only commit changes to the dev/experiment branch. It is probably easier to make a mistake and forgot the target branch with DDLs (than a cloned table). Shallow clone would make the current implementation of orphan file cleanup procedure invalid though, unless Iceberg introduces some new concept to associate those shallow cloned tables together. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
