emalit opened a new issue, #7277: URL: https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues/7277
### Search before asking - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Paimon version Paimon 1.2.0 ### Compute Engine Flink 1.20.1 ### Minimal reproduce step 1. Create a paimon table for a sink 2. Create an empty branch for that table 3. Create a Flink job that takes data from any source and sinks it into that branch 4. Re-run the job ### What doesn't meet your expectations? Upon re-running the job, I get this error: ``` Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Branch name 'my_branch_name' already exists. ``` Since flink jobs can be restarted and redeployed, we should have a way to check whether the branch name already exists and skip creating it. For example, CREATE TABLE can be modified by IF NOT EXISTS. This should also be available for branches. ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
