> I'm curious what the expected behavior is with using this new feature, if a field is dropped or sort order spec is removed? Based on my understanding, the #15150 feature uses only the current default sort order at the write time. The historical orders only need to be loadable. This fix restore load-ability when a historical sort order's filed is dropped without the needed of re-enabling use of that dropped filed. Then regarding sort order been removed, I don't think there is DDL to actually remove it as setting `WRITE UNORDER` just flipped the default-sort-order-id from 1 to 0. There is no `removeSortOrders` (there was a PR related to adding this support but not accepted: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/13975) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
