kbendick opened a new issue #2599:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/2599
It's not possible to run an incremental scan on a `history` metadata table.
Occasionally, users will swap back and forth between doing an incremental
scan and querying the history table and will forget to unset the incremental
versions, and the error message is not very helpful.
Here's an example:
```scala
spark.read.format("iceberg")
.option("start-snapshot-id", "4718831532792232068")
.option("end-snapshot-id", "4044746363673034999")
.load("namespace.table.history")
.show()
```
The error message
```
Message: Incremental scan is not supported
```
It would likely be much more helpful if it said something like `Incremental
scan is not supported in history metadata table` or more generally `Incremental
scan is not supported in <actual class type>`.
