Hi,
There is a breaking change in 1.8.0 that prevents Iceberg 1.8 clients to talk
to pre-1.8 Iceberg REST services.
The errors manifest as something like:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Server does not support endpoint: HEAD
/v1/{prefix}/namespaces/{namespace}/views/{view}
at org.apache.iceberg.rest.Endpoint.check(Endpoint.java:140)
at
org.apache.iceberg.rest.RESTSessionCatalog.viewExists(RESTSessionCatalog.java:1242)
at
org.apache.iceberg.rest.RESTSessionCatalog$Builder.replaceTransaction(RESTSessionCatalog.java:893)
