DeltaTable.forPath(spark, path) doesnt recognize table

[amitca71]

Hi,

I'm working with unity catalog for the last week.

I'm refering to delta table by path, as follwing:

path='s3://<my_bucket_name>/silver/data/<table_name>

DeltaTable.forPath(spark, path)

I get an exception that "is not a Delta table"

using the table name using: DeltaTable.forName(spark, <table_name>)

everything works fine. both the attributes are exactly as apear on uc catalog (and data apears in S3.

dbutils.fs.ls(path) - also recognizes the content

till yesterday it was working fine, and the problem started 23/9/22 on the morning.

Anybody face the same issue?

Thanks,

Amit
