@RussellSpitzer I think `backup` is just too generic, specially when there are hundreds of tables in a catalog. For instance, users may already use `backup` for other cases, not just for tables migrated to iceberg - this is quite a common case. Therefore, users may have different suffixes they would want to use, for instance `_hive` or any other. In order to not be prescriptive of the suffix - which right now is very generic - allowing users to optionally changing it should fill that gap. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
