> It still feels like we are adding a special workaround to Iceberg for something which shouldn't be happening in the first place. Can you explain the use case again? Why can't the upstream file producer write correctly annotated binary columns? Impala used to write data like this, and there are bunch of data already written like this so we need to find a workaround without rewritting all the parquet data. New data will be written 'correctly', of course, but It is impossible for users to stop their business for a week(or even more time) when upgrading to iceberg... And I do not think the solution here breaks anything? Thanks. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
