the-other-tim-brown opened a new pull request, #749: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/pull/749
## What is the purpose of the pull request If the existing data files have field IDs set that do not align with the convention that Iceberg uses, then the schema will not line up properly. This is very limiting for users. ## Brief change log - Initializes the table with an empty schema to avoid auto-assigning the field IDs. After that, the schema is manually updated along with the partition spec - Updates the schema sync to use a manual update instead of the provided update APIs when the source schema has its own field IDs provided. ## Verify this pull request *(Please pick either of the following options)* This pull request is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. *(or)* This pull request is already covered by existing tests, such as *(please describe tests)*.
