> Thanks for this PR! Does the target table store the blobs from source table as blob format or blob descriptors? If as blob format, I think we can use `blob-descriptor.XXX` to specify options for CatalogContext as in #7231 If as blob descriptors, I think blob-view is designed to solve this. @steFaiz Thanks for the suggestion! The target stores an independent managed BLOB copy: it reads the blob through the source descriptor and writes it into the target’s own BLOB storage. `blob-descriptor.*` only provides static CatalogContext options, while the source table’s data token is dynamically refreshed by its FileIO and cannot be reliably materialized into an options map. blob-view is a no-copy reference with different semantics. Hope this clarifies the motivation for source-table. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
