Hello all, Apologies if this is an inappropriate place to ask questions, I tried to use Slack but I could not sign in(I am either Slack illiterate, or I need some sort of invite).
Thank you all for your work on this project. Following the page Spec page in the Table metadata fields section: *optional* *optional* *properties* A string to string map of table properties. This is used to control settings that affect reading and writing and is not intended to be used for arbitrary metadata. For example, commit.retry.num-retries is used to control the number of commit retries. I followed the code path in PropertiesUpdate.commit, it seems that it's not enforced that the table properties only contain iceberg defined properties, the Spec page specifies that it should not be used for user metadata, are their plans for relaxing such requirement as long no name collisions happens, or introduce a 'user-properties' for user defined properties. My use case is committing the source cursor along with the data files to get a sort of 'exactly once' inserts. Regards.
