rdblue commented on issue #309: Add mechanism to expire table metadata
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/pull/309#issuecomment-541449291
> Iceberg tables can share locations. Can they share metadata locations?
Yes, they could. That's another good reason to avoid listing to clean this up.
> If we are to keep only 100 last files, does it mean that we will be deleting the most recent file on every commit?
Yes. I think this would be done after the commit to avoid failure, but we would want to clean up the dangling metadata file each commit to ensure it gets deleted. By keeping track of the last N metadata locations, we can also build this into snapshot expiration to catch any problems.
