I just thought of an example where ID reuse could be bad. The Nessie catalog allows branching at the table metadata level by keeping different metadata file references. A Nessie branch could remove data for one spec and reuse the IDs, which would make compatibility with another branch using the old spec confusing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
