### Query engine Java API ### Question I am trying to implement an Iceberg writer based completely on Java API. I am able to use the PartitionedFanoutWriter to write to the specified partitions successfully. However, now I need to implement deletes, and there lies the issue. Equality or Position deletes seem to be the best solution for my use case as I don't want to rewrite the existing files again. As I looked through the classes and tried to create my own PartitionedFanoutWriter for deletes, I noticed that the constructor function is not public. Any reasons for this and is there an alternate solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ``` // org.apache.iceberg.io.BaseTaskWriter protected class RollingEqDeleteWriter extends BaseTaskWriter<T>.BaseRollingWriter<EqualityDeleteWriter<T>> { // This is not public unlike RollingFileWriter ------------------------------- RollingEqDeleteWriter(StructLike partitionKey) { super(partitionKey, null); } EqualityDeleteWriter<T> newWriter(EncryptedOutputFile file, StructLike partitionKey) { return BaseTaskWriter.this.appenderFactory.newEqDeleteWriter(file, BaseTaskWriter.this.format, partitionKey); } long length(EqualityDeleteWriter<T> writer) { return writer.length(); } void write(EqualityDeleteWriter<T> writer, T record) { writer.write(record); } void complete(EqualityDeleteWriter<T> closedWriter) { BaseTaskWriter.this.completedDeleteFiles.add(closedWriter.toDeleteFile()); } } ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
