########## format/spec.md: ########## @@ -1908,6 +1910,12 @@ Reading v4 metadata: * Relative paths must be resolved against the table location before use (see [Path Resolution](#path-resolution)) * When `location` is omitted, the table location must be provided (see [Table Location Specification](#table-location-specification)) +Snapshot timestamp changes: + +* A snapshot's `timestamp-ms` must be strictly greater than the `timestamp-ms` of its parent snapshot on the same branch. +* The requirement applies only to snapshots committed while the table is at format version 4 or higher; snapshots that existed before a table was upgraded to v4 are not constrained. Review Comment: how about a case where table was in v3 format and future timestamp was committed and now v4 snapshot is committing the right timestamp, this would not let v4 timestamp snapshot commit ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
