> I have a question. If sort is supportted with creation SQL, will it ensure the order of the whole table or only the current batch data? thank you. It will act as a default sort order for the table. The insert's will use this sort order. However Iceberg also supports sort order evolution. So, when `ALTER TABLE ... WRITE ORDERED BY` it has to change table property also. When sort oder is changed, it won't impact previous written data. Only new data will follow new sort order. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
