Let me summarize how I got it.
The idea is to interpret table properties like `write.metadata.metrics.col1`
as `write.metadata.metrics.10` (where 10 is the column id of `col1`). That way,
we don't have to do anything when a column is renamed as the id stays same. We
will also need to add some logic to convert column ids back into column names
when showing table properties to the user.
When we drop `col1`, it is alright to keep the old property and it will
simply not be shown to the user?
Is that the idea, @holdenk?
