   Hi @tomer90 - thanks for raising this issue.
   
   I took a look at the second code reference you shared and I suspect one of 
the two are true about the invariant for partition source IDs to be a part of 
equality fields for upserts:
   1. The invariant is only needed for **hash distribution mode**. Then the 
implementation is wrong and should gate this check on the actual distribution 
mode like you suggest.
   2. The invariant is correct **independent of distribution mode**. Then the 
error message is simply wrong and should be updated.
   
   We may benefit from pulling in Flink Iceberg experts here, but based on the 
[Javadocs](https://iceberg.apache.org/javadoc/1.9.2/org/apache/iceberg/flink/sink/FlinkSink.Builder.html#upsert(boolean))
 I think the second conclusion is likely to be true.
   
   Let me know if the explanation in the javadocs aligns with your 
understanding of how upserts should work as well
