+ description:
+ A comma-separated list of fully qualified view names (namespace
and view name) representing the view
+ reference chain when a table is loaded via a view. The list should
be ordered with the outermost view
+ first, followed by any intermediate views it references, down to
the view that directly references the table.
+ For a simple case where a view directly references the table, the
list contains a single view identifier.
+ For nested views (a view referencing another view which references
the table), the list contains multiple
+ view identifiers representing the complete dependency chain.
+
+ Each view identifier has the format namespace.viewName where
multipart namespaces follow the same
+ encoding rules as the `parent` parameter in the list namespaces
endpoint (using `namespace-separator`
+ as defined in `/config`).
+
+ The namespace and view name are separated by a dot. When parsing,
the dot separator is located by
+ finding the first dot character after the last namespace separator.
Review Comment:
I think the separator should be used for all identifier parts and that the
last part should be the table name. Otherwise there is a restriction on `.` in
names, which we have avoided in the spec so far.
