All Known Implementing Classes:

RewritePositionDeleteFilesSparkAction
```
public interface RewritePositionDeleteFiles
extends SnapshotUpdate<RewritePositionDeleteFiles,RewritePositionDeleteFiles.Result>
```
An action for rewriting position delete files.
Generally used for optimizing the size and layout of position delete files within a table.

  - PARTIAL_PROGRESS_ENABLED
```
static final java.lang.String PARTIAL_PROGRESS_ENABLED
```
    Enable committing groups of files (see max-file-group-size-bytes) prior to the entire rewrite completing. This will produce additional commits but allow for progress even if some groups fail to commit. This setting will not change the correctness of the rewrite operation as file groups can be compacted independently.
    The default is false, which produces a single commit when the entire job has completed.

```
    The maximum amount of Iceberg commits that this rewrite is allowed to produce if partial progress is enabled. This setting has no effect if partial progress is disabled.

    Constant Field Values
  - PARTIAL_PROGRESS_MAX_COMMITS_DEFAULT

    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - MAX_CONCURRENT_FILE_GROUP_REWRITES
```
static final java.lang.String MAX_CONCURRENT_FILE_GROUP_REWRITES
```
    The max number of file groups to be simultaneously rewritten by the rewrite strategy. The structure and contents of the group is determined by the rewrite strategy. Each file group will be rewritten independently and asynchronously.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - MAX_CONCURRENT_FILE_GROUP_REWRITES_DEFAULT
```
static final int MAX_CONCURRENT_FILE_GROUP_REWRITES_DEFAULT
```
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - REWRITE_JOB_ORDER
```
static final java.lang.String REWRITE_JOB_ORDER
```
    Forces the rewrite job order based on the value.
    
    If rewrite-job-order=bytes-asc, then rewrite the smallest job groups first.
    If rewrite-job-order=bytes-desc, then rewrite the largest job groups first.
    If rewrite-job-order=files-asc, then rewrite the job groups with the least files first.
    If rewrite-job-order=files-desc, then rewrite the job groups with the most files first.
    If rewrite-job-order=none, then rewrite job groups in the order they were planned (no specific ordering).
    
    Defaults to none.

```
RewritePositionDeleteFiles filter(Expression expression)
```
    A filter for finding deletes to rewrite.
    The filter will be converted to a partition filter with an inclusive projection. Any file that may contain rows matching this filter will be used by the action. The matching delete files will be rewritten.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expression - An iceberg expression used to find deletes.
    
    Returns:
    
    this for method chaining
