After accumulating many updates to a delta table,
like,
keyExample bigint GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1),my identity column values are in the hundreds of millions. Is there any way that I can reset this value through vacuuming or some other option?

The docs mention the following operations are not allowed:
- PARTITIONED BY an identity column
- UPDATE an identity column
Delete column is not there so you could drop it and recreate? I'd try that one out.
