Hi, There is a breaking change in 1.8.0 that prevents Iceberg 1.8 clients to talk to pre-1.8 Iceberg REST services.
The errors manifest as something like: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Server does not support endpoint: HEAD /v1/{prefix}/namespaces/{namespace}/views/{view} at org.apache.iceberg.rest.Endpoint.check(Endpoint.java:140) at org.apache.iceberg.rest.RESTSessionCatalog.viewExists(RESTSessionCatalog.java:1242) at org.apache.iceberg.rest.RESTSessionCatalog$Builder.replaceTransaction(RESTSessionCatalog.java:893) > On 13.
