Review Comment:
   nit: What about `pre/post update images` instead of `update-row` in all places?

Review Comment:
   Shouldn't this be an array of strings? That way, we don't have to deal with escaping and parsing.
   We can also define a helper variable for it in `BaseProcedure`, just like we have `STRING_MAP` today.
   
   ```
   protected static final DataType STRING_ARRAY = DataTypes.createArrayType(DataTypes.StringType);
   ```

Review Comment:
   We can't use the table name as string because procedures resolve tables differently. We should follow what we do in other procedures.
   
   ```
   Identifier tableIdent = toIdentifier(args.getString(0), PARAMETERS[0].name());
   ```
   
   Under the hood, it will default the catalog to the catalog for which this procedure is invoked, which may be different from the default Spark catalog in the session.

+/**
+ * A procedure that creates a view for changed rows.
+ *
+ * <p>The procedure computes update-rows and removes the carry-over rows by default. You can disable
+ * them through parameters to get better performance.
+ *
+ * <p>Carry-over rows are the result of a removal and insertion of the same row within an operation
+ * because of the copy-on-write mechanism. For example, given a file which contains row1 (id=1,
+ * data='a') and row2 (id=2, data='b'). A copy-on-write delete of row2 would require erasing this
+ * file and preserving row1 in a new file. The change-log table would report this as (id=1,
+ * data='a', op='DELETE') and (id=1, data='a', op='INSERT'), despite it not being an actual change
+ * to the table. The iterator finds the carry-over rows and removes them from the result.
+ *
+ * <p>An update-row is converted from a pair of a delete row and an insert row. Identifier columns
+ * are used for determining whether an insert and a delete record refer to the same row. If the two
+ * records share the same values for the identity columns they are considered to be before and after
+ * states of the same row. You can either set Identifier Field IDs as the table properties or input
+ * them as the procedure parameters. Here is an example of update-row with an identifier column(id).
+ * A pair of a delete row and an insert row with the same id:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='a', op='DELETE')
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='b', op='INSERT')
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>will be marked as update-rows:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='a', op='UPDATE_BEFORE')
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='b', op='UPDATE_AFTER')

Review Comment:
   We will need an identifier in this method so that the resolution works correctly.
   We could have something like this.
   
   ```
   private Dataset<Row> changelogDF(Identifier tableIdent, Map<String, String> options) {
     Identifier changelogTableIdent = changelogTableIdent(tableIdent);
     return loadTable(changelogTableIdent, options);
   }
   
   private Identifier changelogTableIdent(Identifier tableIdent) {
     List<String> namespace = Lists.newArrayList();
     namespace.addAll(Arrays.asList(tableIdent.namespace()));
     namespace.add(tableIdent.name());
     return Identifier.of(namespace.toArray(new String[0]), SparkChangelogTable.TABLE_NAME);
   }
   ```
   
   And then add the following method to `BaseProcedure`:
   
   ```
   protected Dataset<Row> loadTable(Identifier tableIdent, Map<String, String> options) {
     String tableName = Spark3Util.quotedFullIdentifier(tableCatalog().name(), tableIdent);
     return spark().read().options(options).table(tableName);
   }
   ```

   nit: Just `identifier field IDs`?

   What about calling it `CreateChangelogViewProcedure`? We kind of provide a real changelog with update images.

Review Comment:
   Can you explore the idea of using native `dropDuplicates` operation instead of applying the iterator? At least, this should avoid the conversion from the internal to the public row representation, which is required by the iterator at the moment.

Review Comment:
   If we decide to use `dropDuplicates` to remove carryovers, this may have a more specific name.

Review Comment:
   What about defining some static vars to give meaning to these numbers?
   
   ```
   private static final int COMPUTE_UPDATES_ORDINAL = 3;
   ```
   
   We do that in Spark functions. I will also think about a better approach to handle parsing of args.

Review Comment:
   It is a good idea to compute update images if the user provided identifier columns but only if the flag is not set to false. If the flag to compute update images is explicitly set to false, we should respect it.

Review Comment:
   nit: What about defining a method `removeCarryovers(args)` like we have for other args?

+/**
+ * A procedure that creates a view for changed rows.
+ *
+ * <p>The procedure computes update-rows and removes the carry-over rows by default. You can disable
+ * them through parameters to get better performance.
+ *
+ * <p>Carry-over rows are the result of a removal and insertion of the same row within an operation
+ * because of the copy-on-write mechanism. For example, given a file which contains row1 (id=1,
+ * data='a') and row2 (id=2, data='b'). A copy-on-write delete of row2 would require erasing this
+ * file and preserving row1 in a new file. The change-log table would report this as (id=1,
+ * data='a', op='DELETE') and (id=1, data='a', op='INSERT'), despite it not being an actual change
+ * to the table. The iterator finds the carry-over rows and removes them from the result.
+ *
+ * <p>An update-row is converted from a pair of a delete row and an insert row. Identifier columns
+ * are used for determining whether an insert and a delete record refer to the same row. If the two
+ * records share the same values for the identity columns they are considered to be before and after
+ * states of the same row. You can either set Identifier Field IDs as the table properties or input
+ * them as the procedure parameters. Here is an example of update-row with an identifier column(id).
+ * A pair of a delete row and an insert row with the same id:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='a', op='DELETE')
+ *   <li>(id=1, data='b', op='INSERT')
