@puchengy, I was referring to this subpart of https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/3269#issuecomment-961520437 where @rdblue suggested : > We don't have to document that we support time travel through table identifiers so that we can remove it later and replace it with the AS OF syntax Hence I closed this PR considering it not being documented is intentional. > Do you mean this workaround is not guaranteed to be supported and might be dropped in the future? As per my understanding of the comment yes, hence not documenting this could avoid users to make dependency on it. Now `AS OF` Syntax is present since [3.3](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-37219), Though I am not sure of the plans of spark community to backport it back to lower spark versions like 3.0, 3.1, 3.2. Also not sure if it will be dropped from iceberg once they are supported in lower version or in 3.3. Maybe the authors / reviewers of the pr's have deeper insights on this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
