@wypoon @rdblue @huaxingao was there any consideration around the upcoming feature around branching? Based on the current syntax, it looks like we are assuming a linear history for time travel. Users can only: 1. time travel on the main branch 2. first switch the current branch to point to a different branch and then time travel in that branch There is no way to appoint a different branch to time travel, unless I do something like: ``` SELECT * FROM table@my_branch TIMESTAMP AS OF '2019-01-29 00:37:58'; ``` Any thoughts? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
