This means that users must be careful to insert data correctly by specifying the number of reducers to be equal to the number of buckets, and using CLUSTER BY and SORT BY commands in their query. ```` @okumin, this PR intends to add support for Iceberg sorted tables, same as in a trino link @zhangbutao added. I do not really like that we have to create new syntax for that. `SORTED BY` kinda makes sense, but it would be overloaded for Iceberg since it would be used to specify data insert order. Spark only supports [alter-table-write-ordered-by](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.7.0/spark-ddl/#alter-table-write-ordered-by) to define the write order. Maybe we could have a combination of ALTER + Trino table properties styles? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
