   Hey @lurnagao-dahua Thanks for raising this, and @ajantha-bhat for jumping 
in here. This was discussed earlier in 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/10159 and points to a comment in 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/279#issuecomment-519620975.
   
   Some historical context:
   
   - `int -> date` in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/447/
   - `date -> int` in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/5980/
   - Discussed earlier this year in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/9345/
   
   So the logical type is a `date`, but the physical type is still an `int32`, 
maybe we should make that more explicit? It seems to cause a lot of confusion. 
Looking forward to hearing what others think.
