Hi devs, I have heard many times that there is a need to copy the entire table, and my advice to them is often to use file system file copying.
But there are a few issues: 1. It is necessary to copy a large number of files, and it is likely that some files will be deleted due to ongoing work, resulting in copying failure. 2. The target table may need to synchronize Hive metadata, which means using HiveCatalog, which cannot be solved by copying files. So I suggest we have a clone procedure.
