@singhpk234 > are we ok with iceberg views referencing generic tables ? Good question! Right now there isn't a canonical way to reference generic tables in SQL; in the design the Spark client will just always check if a table is a generic table after confirming it's neither a view nor an Iceberg table. In such a case, I think it's reasonable to allow Iceberg views to refer to generic tables. In another implementation where generic tables are accessed another way (e.g. via UDTF) then we might want to revisit this decision. What happens in Spark today if you try to create an Iceberg view that doesn't include an Iceberg table, but it reads from a UDTF? Does it work? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
