I am referring to the **view spec**, using the example here: https://iceberg.apache.org/view-spec/#appendix-a-an-example So in design 1 where we say we want to have a pointer from view to storage table, the pointer is a new type of representation `materialized`. We already support multiple representations as of today in the view spec, but today it only can have multiple SQL representations. By adding this new type, it means a view can be backed by multiple storage tables, by adding more `materialized` representations. The use case that you said about a table having multiple storage layout could also be modeled as a view with multiple `materialized` representations and no any SQL representation. It's just a thought, not fully flushed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
