I am using the Delta Lake connector for reading existing delta tables in s3 exclusively. When I run a create table statement, I expect to already have an existing transaction log for the given location before creating the table. I have to check everytime manually if the transaction log exists in order to avoid creating an erroneous transection logs in the path for dummy bigint. I think it's need to have an explicit property for creating delta table from existing logs that makes the CREATE TABLE statement fail in case there is no existing transaction log.
From the documentation:
If the specified location does not already contain a Delta table, the connector automatically writes the initial transaction log entries and registers the table in the metastore.
I don't want Trino to silently create a transaction log if I intent to create a table from existing logs.
