Detailed Description

API for deleting data files from a table.

This API accumulates file deletions, produces a new Snapshot of the table, and commits that snapshot as current. When committing, these changes are applied to the latest table snapshot. Commit conflicts are resolved by applying the changes to the new latest snapshot and reattempting the commit.

File paths are matched exactly against table metadata values; equivalent but differently-normalized URIs are not considered matches.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CaseSensitive()

DeleteFiles & iceberg::DeleteFiles::CaseSensitive ( bool case_sensitive )

Enable or disable case-sensitive expression binding for validations.

Parameters

case_sensitive Whether expression binding should be case sensitive.

Returns: This DeleteFiles for method chaining.

◆ DeleteFile() [1/2]

DeleteFiles & iceberg::DeleteFiles::DeleteFile ( const std::shared_ptr< DataFile > & file )

Delete a file tracked by a DataFile from the underlying table.

Parameters

file	A DataFile to remove from the table.

Returns: This DeleteFiles for method chaining.

◆ DeleteFile() [2/2]

DeleteFiles & iceberg::DeleteFiles::DeleteFile ( std::string_view path )

Delete a file by path from the underlying table.

Parameters

path	A path to remove from the table.

Returns: This DeleteFiles for method chaining.

◆ DeleteFromRowFilter()

DeleteFiles & iceberg::DeleteFiles::DeleteFromRowFilter ( std::shared_ptr< Expression > expr )

Delete files that match an expression on data rows from the table.

A file is selected to be deleted by the expression if it could contain any rows that match the expression. Candidate files are selected using an inclusive partition projection. These candidate files are deleted if all of the rows in the file must match the expression, determined by the expression's strict partition projection. This guarantees that files are deleted if and only if all rows in the file must match the expression.

Files that may contain some rows that match the expression and some rows that do not will result in a validation error.

Parameters

expr	An expression on rows in the table.

Returns: This DeleteFiles for method chaining.

◆ operation()

std::string iceberg::DeleteFiles::operation ( )

overridevirtual

A string that describes the action that produced the new snapshot.

Returns: A string operation name

Implements iceberg::SnapshotUpdate.

◆ Validate()

Status iceberg::DeleteFiles::Validate	(	const TableMetadata &	current_metadata,
		const std::shared_ptr< Snapshot > &	snapshot
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Validate the current metadata.

Child operations can override this to add custom validation.

Parameters

current_metadata	Current table metadata to validate
snapshot	Ending snapshot on the lineage which is being validated

Reimplemented from iceberg::SnapshotUpdate.

◆ ValidateFilesExist()

DeleteFiles & iceberg::DeleteFiles::ValidateFilesExist ( )

Enable validation that deleted files still exist.

If this method is called, any files that are part of the deletion must still exist when committing the operation.

Returns: This DeleteFiles for method chaining.
