[GitHub] [iceberg] jackye1995 commented on pull request #2365: Spark: SQL extention to update partition field atomically

   @rdblue yes I agree CHANGE might cause some wrong interpretation, but I don't think it is a big issue for end users, especially people who are only interacting through SQL. If they see the `alwaysNull` partition field I think people would understand it means that partition field was dropped in favor of the current one.
   
   I am good with REPLACE, it is also a part of HiveQL, and Athena also supports it for column updates.
