Hi folks, Pavan, Pani (cc) and I put together a design doc [1] to support relative paths in Iceberg metadata (Issue #1617 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/1617>) with three goals in mind.
Backup / Replication should not require ongoing rewrites of metadata. It is acceptable to have a single change when the first copy is performed. No public API will change as a part of this proposal. We have thought through a few scenarios in the doc and also included an implementation. We will glad to to consider other ideas as well.
