This PR adds ability to have unique table location. In this case each new table will have unique path on s3. Based on it example from my previous message will looks: 1. User create table with name `table1` (location: `s3://iceberg/table1-eecec917-53b8-4d28-a900-c88061fc7ac2`) 2. Then rename it to `table2` (location not change during update `s3://iceberg/table1-eecec917-53b8-4d28-a900-c88061fc7ac2`) 3. Create new table with name `table1` (location: `s3://iceberg/table1-309f7903-c4b2-4df1-b890-a481bb47c4c5`) As we have unique location we can perform remove orphan files (compaction) for bot tables safety. Looks like it can be pretty general case. @RussellSpitzer @kbendick what do you think? Is it make sense to add such property to Hive catalog? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
