Are these operations that people will need to use? What is the SQL that exercises them or what is the use case? The main use case would be to have an API to update a view's representation without having to reconstruct all other representations. Say you have representations for `trino` and `spark` and you'd want to only update the SQL definition of `spark`. In a normal `replace` you would replace the existing view completely with the "new" information, but you don't want to lose the representation for `trino`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
