jackye1995 opened a new issue #2724: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/2724
continuing the discussion in #2560 Currently I introduced the following syntax for identifier fields: ```sql ALTER TABLE table SET IDENTIFIER FIELDS col1, col2, col3 ALTER TABLE table DROP IDENTIFIER FIELDS col1,col2 ``` In the end I had a thought that the above syntax is trying to mimic the Hive standard, but we are not really using that standard in Spark extensions anyway. It might be better to make it consistent with sort order update syntax, with something like: ```sql ALTER TABLE table WRITE IDENTIFIED BY col1,col2; ``` And we do not support add/drop to avoid confusion. Any thoughts? @rdblue @aokolnychyi @openinx -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
