API: Add function for removing Specs from Metadata.json which are no … #3462

There was a problem hiding this comment.
So the reason I use this api, and not actually accessing the underlying rows of ALL_MANIFESTS table is that for tables which have corrupt specs (from previous bugs) will be unable to actually generate the common "partition" schema which is required to actually manifest rows. This table instead just gets us ManifestFiles which we can check the specID of directly.

@rdblue Please let me know what you think about this for the removing unused specs / removing broken and unused specs from table utility |
…longer in use Previously there was no way to remove partition specs from a table once they were added. To fix this we add an api which searches through all reachable mainfest files and records their specsIds. Any specIds which do not find are marked for removal which is done through a serializable commit.
