Hi folks, Would it be appropriate for us to consider changing the default table format version for new tables from v1 to v2?
I don’t think defaulting to v2 tables means all readers have to support delete files. DELETE, UPDATE, MERGE operations will only produce delete files if configured explicitly. The primary reason I am starting this thread is to avoid our workarounds in v1 spec evolution, and snapshot ID inheritance. The latter is critical for the performance of rewriting manifests. Any thoughts? - Anton
