Issue Summary

In the bt_vrfy.c file, the current code checks if the file name matches WT_METAFILE_URI to skip the history store explicit call during verification. The question was raised whether this check should be updated to use WT_IS_URI_METADATA to ensure both asc and dsc are covered.

Context

The relevant code snippet is:

skip_hs = strcmp(name, WT_METAFILE_URI) == 0 || WT_IS_URI_HS(name) ||
  F_ISSET(session, WT_SESSION_DEBUG_DO_NOT_CLEAR_TXN_ID);

Currently, this only matches WT_METAFILE_URI. However, there may be multiple forms of metadata URIs (such as asc and dsc variants) that should also be included in this check. The macro WT_IS_URI_METADATA would cover all metadata URIs, ensuring the verification logic is consistent and comprehensive.

Proposed Solution

Update the check from strcmp(name, WT_METAFILE_URI) == 0 to WT_IS_URI_METADATA(name) in bt_vrfy.c to ensure all metadata URIs are properly handled during verification.
