> I think for snapshots you only want to delete files that are made in commits after the original import, that should be possible but complicated. Basically just delete everything added after the first iceberg snapshot. Yes and no. That's the case for snapshot but what if someone creates an Iceberg table with GC disabled and uses it to just promote files written not through Iceberg? Then deleting data beyond the first snapshot not safe too. Maybe, we can take `snapshot` table property into account. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
