Do we know when will Delta support Identity columns ? I am using Synapse(Delta 2.2) and see that currently Identity columns are not supported. Thinking to use monotonically increasing function>However, the approach has its own challenges, so thinking if the feature can be made available, it will make life easy :)

Looks like it’s a synapse issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-41290. should get fixed in 3.4

I think @Saurabhis talking specifically about https://github.com/delta-io/delta/issues/1072
@Allison Portis @Denny Lee probably can provide more info about Identity column plans, it is in roadmap, but I haven't seen any activity on it

As noted in this comment of 1100, we’re still working on getting the SQL syntax resolved first. Not sure when the new roadmap will come out but I’ll follow up on this
