We have a use case where we would like to move some old data sets that are structured in a set of JSON files into Iceberg. Each JSON files correspond to a snapshot. Although when looking at the API we found that it was not possible to specify the timestamp of a snapshot when using time traveling and therefore although we can still keep the order intact by overriding the table incrementally with all the JSON files in the order that they were created we are losing the exact timestamp of those snapshots. It would be very helpful not having to go and modify the metadata files manually in order to keep the integrity of our snapshots. I'm sure this must not be the only time someone had to migrate some data while keeping the integrity of the snapshots by wanting to do historical imports. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
