jackye1995 opened a new issue #2833: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/2833
Currently Spark and Flink uses syntax `db.table.system_table_name` to access system tables, whereas Trino uses `db.table$system_table_name`. I also saw on dev list that Peter is planning to add system table support to Hive. I am also scoping the snapshot tagging feature which will add more complexity to the table naming scheme. So I think it's a good time to discuss what is the best syntax going forward. I remember in #1144 that we realized there is an issue for Spark to use dot as the delimiter for default catalog, and it was never truly fixed. I saw Ryan had the suggestion for using `__` instead. I would like to know what is everyone's take on this, so that we can provide a more unified experience for all users. @rdblue @electrum @RussellSpitzer @openinx @pvary -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
