Hi folks,

I have a few questions regarding the schema history of an Iceberg table.

The table metadata file keeps track of every table schema version (at least in 
v2). Depending on the size of the schema, this history can become large in 
terms of byte size.


  1.  Is removing a schema from the history correct when the table does not 
have a snapshot referencing that schema version?
  2.  Does the Iceberg spec guarantee that the history is not pruned?
  3.  Are there any plans for Iceberg to support pruning the schema history?

Thanks,
Barron Wei
