Hi Team, I have been playing around with Iceberg tables, and I had some failing writes (not really sure how it actually happened), and ended up with an empty metadata/version-hint.text file. When I have tried to read this table with Catalogs.loadTable(configuration, properties) I got a NullPointerException.
How do we handle metadata corruption in Iceberg? Shall we try to fix this error? - Maybe based on the other metadata files we can find the actual version Provide a better error message? Or just make sure a developer can find out what is the problem, so the NullPointer exception is ok? Thanks, Peter
