| | _required_ | **`last-sequence-number`**| The table's highest
assigned sequence number, a monotonically increasing long that tracks the order
of snapshots in a table. |
| _required_ | _required_ | **`last-updated-ms`**| Timestamp in milliseconds
from the unix epoch when the table was last updated. Each table metadata file
should update this field just before writing. |
| _required_ | _required_ | **`last-column-id`**| An integer; the highest
assigned column ID for the table. This is used to ensure columns are always
assigned an unused ID when evolving schemas. |
-| _required_ | _required_ | **`schema`**| The table’s current schema. |
+| _required_ | _required_ | **`schema`**| The table’s current schema. In v2,
this must be the schema identified by the `current-schema-id`. |
+| _optional_ | _required_ | **`schemas`**| A list of schemas, stored as
objects with `schema-id`. |
+| _optional_ | _required_ | **`current-schema-id`**| ID of the table's current
schema. |
| _required_ | | **`partition-spec`**| The table’s current
partition spec, stored as only fields. Note that this is used by writers to
partition data, but is not used when reading because reads use the specs stored
in manifest files. (**Deprecated**: use `partition-specs` and
`default-spec-id`instead ) |
| _optional_ | _required_ | **`partition-specs`**| A list of partition specs,
stored as full partition spec objects. |
-| _optional_ | _required_ | **`default-spec-id`**| ID of the “current” spec
that writers should use by default. |

that writers should use by default. |
Review comment:
nit: a little bit inconsistent here. `current-schema-id` vs
`default-spec-id`. I guess we can't rename `default-spec-id` for compatibility
reason.
