   @rdblue @jun-ma-0 We have a use case for some complex migration scenarios where table data could be in multiple locations. We are looking into adding manifests from an existing table in one location to a new table in a different location. For that to work, we really need to have relative paths per manifest, not table. So, what I am suggesting is to make this behavior opt-in at table level. But, each manifest should have a flag indicating whether the paths are relative or not and if relative, we should have a basePath specified in the manifest.
