This issue was reviewed as part of the JIRA-migrated backlog triage (HUDI-9477). **Findings: still open.** A design question rather than a defect - does the metadata-table compaction planner need to write an instant in the past, or can it use the regular patterns? So the deliverable is a recorded decision. Concrete context that bears on it: #17241 (HUDI-7101) concerns MDT file-slice instantiation where the dummy initialization commit and the following bulk_insert share a base commit time, and `HoodieBackedTableMetadataWriter.generateUniqueInstantTime` currently walks forward from `SOLO_COMMIT_TIMESTAMP` (`"00000000000000"`) looking for a free instant. That is the existing "MDT instants are special" machinery this ticket would either keep or remove, so the two decisions are coupled. Keeping this open. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
