Hi Daniel Weeks,
I see that you have been updating the Google doc containing the proposal.
Looking through it now, as far as I can tell, the basic idea (from the
original proposal) of inferring the table location from the path to the
current metadata.json has not changed. Is my reading correct?
You have added clarification around how the path to the metadata is
constructed from table location (from which the table location is thus
reverse engineered) and around path relativization, but the original idea
does not appear to have changed. In that case, the use case of having a
single copy of metadata but more than one copy of data (two or more
locations) is not supported by the proposal. This was the sticking point in
the last sync to discuss the proposal.
Do you intend to have another sync to continue the discussion?
Thanks,
Wing Yew
