   > Can you explain what is the purpose of using existingFilesCount here ?
   
   I am not fully aware of this logically i totally agree with you it makes no 
sense to keep it but what i am skeptical is if there is some handling happening 
due to backward compatibility (not sure about it either) and you also suggested 
here that you are not able to populate this field (refering to your comment 
here : https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/8980#discussion_r1386580961) so 
my rationale here was to add this change when we can add some coverage or 
better would to take this change out of the current pr and involve more folks 
for the discussion and let this pr go as a functionality to skip overwrite 
commit only, please let me know your thoughts ?
