@pvary, yes, the relative path approach looks more elegant than the metadata rebuild one. As I mentioned, it is close to the ideal case, which doesn't rewrite the metadata files. > What do we want to change in the json? Is it only the path of the table, or we have to rewrite something else as well? Could we use something like the LocationProvider (which generates new datafile locations) to make the path resolution pluggable and store only the config in the table? Need to change the location in metadata.json, or a combination of three table properties mentioned by @rdblue and @jackye1995. Thanks @jackye1995 's proposal. It makes sense to have a centralized place to get the root for data and metadata since there are multiple ways to specify their locations. We can also hide the logic of how to prioritize them. cc @anuragmantri. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
