Copying over a similar sentence from the Java docs: https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.5.1/java-api-quickstart/#create-a-schema. Based on my reading of the catalog code, this is true as all the
create_table
implementations end up callingassign_fresh_schema_ids
,assign_fresh_partition_spec_ids
, andassign_fresh_sort_order_ids
.This is useful to understand so newcomers don't have to worry about ID management in any new schemas they are sending into
create_table
.
