+1 on separate view and table metadata I'd like to share our experience of such a design at Netflix for years. The changes to the view spec are minimal and there are no changes to the Iceberg table metadata other than tracking an additional table property for capturing freshness. The storage tables have a specific suffix and a naming pattern. It is convenient to use existing toolings on these tables. We have not encountered any fundamental issues with this modeling.
