### Apache Iceberg version 0.6.1 ### Please describe the bug ๐ while writing dataframe to iceberg through tbl.append(df), there happens to be a schema validation of table schema & df schema. this function in append `_check_schema_compatible(self.schema(), other_schema=df.schema)` does the schema validation. here table schema & df schema are converted to pyarrow schema of struct type, and compared with order of columns with data types. this results in the following error: `Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/apple/Projects/bright/brightmoney_collections_system/utils/index.py", line 172, in <module> dff = write_to_iceberg( File "/Users/apple/Projects/bright/brightmoney_collections_system/utils/index.py", line 163, in write_to_iceberg table.append(pyarrow_df) File "/Users/apple/Projects/bright/brightmoney_collections_system/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py", line 1057, in append _check_schema_compatible(self.schema(), other_schema=df.schema) File "/Users/apple/Projects/bright/brightmoney_collections_system/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py", line 175, in _check_schema_compatible raise ValueError(f"Mismatch in fields:\n{console.export_text()}") ValueError: Mismatch in fields: โโโโโโณโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโณโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ โ Table field โ Dataframe field โ โกโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโฉ โ โ โ 1: a: optional timestamptz โ 1: a: optional timestamptz โ โ โ โ 2: b: optional timestamptz โ 2: b: optional timestamptz โ โ โ โ 3: x: optional string โ 3: x: optional string โ โ โ โ 4: y: optional string โ 4: y: optional string โ โโโโโโดโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโดโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ` yet there is no mismatch in field of table & dataframe. ideally the schema compatibility should not consider the order in which dataframe is send? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
