Thanks for asking! This is useful for continuous incremental replication of a source table to a destination table. Rather than doing a one-off full rewrite/copy of a table to a new destination, you want to repeat the process against an existing copy. In order to avoid having to rewrite/copy everything again, you want to rewrite/copy just the files between the last copied version and the current version of the source table. This is already possible today, but it requires setting the `startVersion` parameter to the last copied version, which is error-prone. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
