Question

For a create or replace operation, does Iceberg V3 maintain row lineage.

Sometimes, we may have iceberg tables that are refreshed from a source table, and using an operation similar to create or replace might be beneficial to use for efficiency.

But of course, row lineage will need to be taken into account.

If create or replace does not maintain row lineage, would insert overwrite work instead?

row id is preserved in replace, So all your rows in the "replaced" table will start with the last Id of the original table.

IE insert 10 rows,
Last row is row 9

Replace table
Insert 10 new rows
Only 10 rows in the table but the last row id is 19
