Are there EMC features that we can only get using the EMC client? You mentioned append support, but all of the formats that Iceberg uses are immutable. So we never need to re-open a file and append more data. Basically we have 2 areas which Dell EMC features could benefit : (1)Append operation in additional of MPU, if the client has less local cache for large object( like edge), Dell EMC object service could help here. (2)Atomic rename. We have If-Match and If-None-Match semantic as we support strong consistency model (within one site) from the very beginning. And talked internally, for better support the customer, if we use Dell EMC features, we'd better use our own client with BSD License. AWS S3 V1 could be workaround here, but V2 can not be an option .
