The DESCRIBE HISTORY works for Iceberg tables and displays the snapshot history of the table. An example output: DESCRIBE HISTORY iceberg_multi_snapshots; +----------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+ | creation_time | snapshot_id | parent_id | is_current_ancestor | +----------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+ | 2020-10-13 14:01:07.234000 | 4400379706200951771 | NULL | TRUE | | 2020-10-13 14:01:19.307000 | 4221472712544505868 | 4400379706200951771 | TRUE | +----------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+ The purpose here was to have similar output with this new feature as what SparkSql returns for "SELECT * from tablename.history". See "History" section of https://iceberg.apache.org/spark/#inspecting-tables Testing: - iceberg-negative.test was extended to check that DESCRIBE HISTORY is not applicable for non-Iceberg tables. - iceberg-table-history.test: Covers basic usage of DESCRIBE HISTORY. Tests on tables created with Impala and also with Spark.
