> If a table column and a metadata column have the same name, the metadata column will never be requested. Currently we have very simple names for Iceberg metadata columns. I wonder if we should make it more complex on engine side, such as _iceberg_partition instead of just _partition. Any thoughts? Sorry I didn't see this ongoing discussion before I merged. If everyone is okay with it, let's continue to discuss and address it in a follow-up. At least that way we unblock Anton's other work. I would be fine adding a way to detect this case and change the column name. Or just waiting for someone to complain. I doubt many people are using `_partition` so it may be better just to wait until someone hits it in practice. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
