parthchandra opened a new issue, #7431:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/7431

   ### What is the problem the feature request solves?
   
   Queries on Iceberg metadata tables (`.partitions`, `.snapshots`, 
`.all_manifests`, `.entries`, `.files`, `.refs`) fall back to Spark. 
Table-maintenance jobs and partition-listing queries read these, and the 
operators above the scan stay in Spark.
   
   ### Describe the potential solution
   
   Read the common metadata tables natively, starting with `.partitions`, 
`.snapshots` and `.all_manifests`. Check how much iceberg-rust's metadata table 
support already covers.
   
   ### Additional context
   
   The native Iceberg scan already supports the `_file`, `_pos`, `_spec_id` and 
`_partition` metadata columns. This issue is about the metadata tables, which 
`CometScanRule.isIcebergMetadataTable` sends to Spark. #2033 made these queries 
fall back cleanly. #6719 covers data tables whose names end in a metadata-table 
name.
