Fokko opened a new issue, #8191: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/8191
### Feature Request / Improvement We have the `to_bytes` in `conversions.py` to convert a Python type to actual bytes. We use this for writing partition values, and column metrics. It looks like we're inconsistent when writing logical types. When writing an uuid, we expect a `UUID`, but when writing a date, we expect an integer. Would be great to also allow: ```python from datetime import datetime, date, time to_bytes(TimestampType(), datetime(2023, 3, 1, 19, 25, 0) to_bytes(TimestamptzType(), datetime(2023, 3, 1, 19, 25, 0) to_bytes(DateType(), date(2023, 3, 1, 19, 25, 0)) to_bytes(TimeType(), time(19, 25, 0)) ``` ### Query engine Other -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
