Reading Latest Metadata Json File of Iceberg Table

[heman026]

Question

Hi,
I need to read the latest metadata Json file of Iceberg table. I am using Rest Catalog for Nessie with Minio Storage. I used the following code, but the Metadata_log is empty. Could you please help me get the latest metadata file.

py_table = catalog.load_table('test.emp')
metadata = py_table.metadata
latest_metadata_file = metadata.metadata_log[-1].file

Let me know if there is any other way to get the latest metadata file, if the above code is not correct.

Thanks

I believe the catalog keeps track of the metadata_log and populates it. I'd check with Nessie to see if that is supported.
