These statistics would be used during the scan itself (for example MERGE INTO branch) . So either we 1.) seek a good way to differentiate between a time travel query where the write shouldn't be able to be applied and an intentional write on a branch or 2.) we just relax the check that a snapshot is set as you did earlier. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
