Hey everyone, as I mentioned on the DISCUSS thread, this is providing a simple path forward for users of the V1 APIs (make the namespace separator *configurable* instead of *hardcoded*) that are either running into issue #10338 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/10338> or will eventually when they upgrade their server stack.
The configuration part is *entirely optional* for REST server implementers and there's no behavioral change for existing installations. Please vote on the wording changes in the REST Spec in #10877 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/10877>. The vote will remain open for at least 72 hours. Thanks Eduard
