+## Procedures
+
+In Spark 3 Iceberg provides an SQL API for accomplishing the [maintenance
actions](maintenance.md). Support for
+stored procedures is tied to the DataSourceV2 catalog and requires that the
Iceberg Extensions are enabled for the
+Spark Session.
+
+### General Usage
+
+To call an Iceberg stored procedure, execute a `CALL` command against the
iceberg catalog. All procedures are added to
+the `system` keyspace. Procedures can take positional or named arguments.
+
+#### Generic Call with Positional Arguments
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name.system.procedure_name(arg_1, arg_2, ... arg_n)
+```
+
+#### Generic Call with Named Arguments
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name.system.procedure_name(arg_name_2 => arg_2, arg_name_1 =>
arg_1)
+```
+
+### Cherrypick Snapshot Procedure
+
+A procedure that applies changes in a given snapshot and creates a new
snapshot which will
+be set as the current snapshot in a table.
+
+**Note** this procedure invalidates all cached Spark plans that reference the
affected table
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Name of table to perform cherrypick on |
+| snapshot_id | ✔️ | Long | The snapshot ID to cherrypick |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| source_snapshot_id | Long | The snapshot before applying the cherrypick |
+| current_snapshot_id | Long | The current snapshot now that the cherrypick
has been applied|
+
+#### Examples
+
+Cherrypick Snapshot 1
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.cherrypick_snapshot('my_table', 1)
+```
+
+Cherrypick Snapshot 1 with named args
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.cherrypick_snapshot(snapshot_id => 1,
table => 'my_table' )
+```
+
+### Expire Snapshot Procedure
+
+Each write/update/delete/upsert/compaction in Iceberg produces a new snapshot
while keeping the old data and metadata
+around for snapshot isolation and time travel. The `expire_snapshots`
procedure can be used to remove older snapshots
+and their files which are no longer needed.
+
+This procedure will remove old snapshots and data files which are uniquely
required by those old snapshots. This means
+the ``expire_snapshots`` procedure will never remove files which are still
required by a non-expired snapshot.
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Name of table to expire snapshots from |
+| older_than | ️ | Timestamp | Remove snapshots older than this date
(Defaults to 5 days ago) |
+| retain_last | | Int | Length of history to preserve regardless of
older_than target (Defaults to 1)|
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| deleted_data_files_count | Long | Data files deleted by this operation |
+| deleted_manifest_files_count | Long | Manifest files deleted by this
operation |
+| deleted_manifest_lists_count | Long | Manifest List files deleted by this
operation |
+
+#### Examples
+
+Remove snapshots older than 10 days ago, but retain the last 100 Snapshots.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.expire_snapshots('db.sample',
date_sub(current_date(), 10), 100)
+```
+
+Erase all snapshots older than the current timestamp but retains the last 5
snapshots made.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.expire_snapshots(table => 'db.sample', retain_last
=> 5)
+```
+
+### Migrate Table Procedure
+
+Converts a table known to Spark in this catalog into a Iceberg table. This is
manily for taking
+hive tables and fully converting them into Iceberg tables. The
[snapshot](#snapshot-table-procedure) procedure
+can be used for making Iceberg tables without effecting the underlying table.
The migrated table will preserve all
+properties set on the original table.
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Table to be migrated to Iceberg |
+| properties | ️ | Map<String, String> | Table properties to add to the
table |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| migrated_files_count | Long | Number of files migrated to Iceberg|
+
+#### Examples
+
+Migrate the table db.sample into an Iceberg table and add a property 'foo' set
to 'bar'
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.migrate('db.sample', map('foo', 'bar'))
+```
+
+Migrate the table db.sample
+```sql
+ CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.migrate('db.sample')
+```
+
+### Remove Orphan Files Procedure
+
+Remove files in a directory which a given Iceberg table does not own. Used for
removing files which are no longer
+required by an Iceberg table and Iceberg has no references to.
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Name of table to remove files from |
+| older_than | ️ | Timestamp | Remove orphan files older than this time
(Defaults to 3 days ago) |
+| location | | String | Directory to look for files in (Defaults
to the table's location) |
+| dry_run | | Boolean | When true, don't actually remove files
(Defaults to false) |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| orphan_file_location | String | A file determined to be an orphan by this
command |
+
+#### Examples
+
+Remove any files in the `tablelocation/data` folder which are not known to the
table `db.sample` and have a timestamp
+older than the current timestamp.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.remove_orphan_files(table => 'db.sample', older_than
=> now(), location => 'tablelocation/data')
+```
+
+List all files that would be removed by the default `remove_orphan_files`
command on this table without removing them.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.remove_orphan_files(table => 'db.sample', dry_run =>
true)
+```
+
+### Rewrite Manifests Procedure
+
+A procedure that rewrites manifests in a table and co-locates metadata for
partitions.
+
+**Note** this procedure invalidates all cached Spark plans that reference the
affected table.
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Name of table to rewrite manifests for |
+| use_caching | ️ | Boolean | Use Spark caching during operation (Defaults
to true) |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| rewritten_manifests_count | Int | Number of manifests which were re-written
by this command |
+| added_mainfests_count | Int | Number of new manifest files which were
written by this command |
+
+#### Examples
+
+Rewrite the manifests in table `db.sample` and align manifest files with table
partitioning.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.rewrite_manifests('db.sample')
+```
+
+Rewrite the manifests in table `db.sample` and disable the use Spark caching.
This could be done to
+avoid memory issues on executors.
+```sql
+ CALL hive_prod.system.rewrite_manifests('db.sample', false)
+```
+
+### Rollback to Snapshot Procedure
+
+A procedure that rollbacks a table to a specific snapshot id. For rollbacks
based on time see
+[rollback_to_timestamp](#rollback-to-snapshot-procedure).
+
+**Note** this procedure invalidates all cached Spark plans that reference the
affected table.
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table | ✔️ | String | Name of table to rollback |

Ah thanks, I'm going to next line's "rollback" it to one word though,
because we use that everywhere else (and in the procedure name
