Another important reason why we need unique table location is `Rename table` action. We have a cases when users changing name of tables and then create tables with same name, like: 1. User create table with name `table1` 2. Then rename it to `table2` 3. Create new table with name `table1` In this case data and metadata files will be placed in same 'folder' on s3. When we will perform remove orphan files action for example for `table1` it will remove data and metadata files for `table2` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
