Hi community, I'm confused why do we need to reassign field id on table (metadata) creation?
Imagine such a case, iceberg table is periodically flushed / persisted, after data file in parquet have been persisted locally or remotely.
When table metadata is created, all field ids within schema get reassigned, which means we have mismatch for parquet file and iceberg metadata -> query engine would fail.
I'm wondering if that's necessary? Or we could provide an option to avoid?
