   > @pvary - Yes, all this needs is the latest metadata file.
   
   This was my conclusion too (after I have left the comment I continued 
chewing on this one 😄) Then I went further, and this is where I am now:
   - What happens, if a table is modified in one of the catalogs (I suspect 
that this is catalog dependent as HiveCatalog will not follow the changes, but 
HadoopTable/HadoopCatalog might follow each others changes, as they rely on the 
file names) 
   - Also issues will arise if we start expiring snapshots. If one catalog 
decides that one of the files are not needed anymore, then it could remove the 
file, even if the file is still needed for the other table. 
   
   Is there a way to prevent this situation? 
   
   Thanks, Peter
