Thanks for tagging me here. I would suggest taking a look at how this has been solved at Parquet-Java. Here [another layer called `ParquetConfiguration`](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/master/parquet-common/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/conf/ParquetConfiguration.java) has been added, which extends `Iterable<Map.Entry<String, String>>`. [Hadoops' Configuration](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/e4ee3d560bddc27a495cc9a158278a9c18276dd0/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.java#L229) also extends `Iterable<Map.Entry<String, String>>`. At Parquet the main goal was to decouple from Hadoop, and use [PlainParquetConfiguration](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/master/parquet-common/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/conf/PlainParquetConfiguration.java) as an alternative way to set the configuration properties. This would be a good route for Flink as well. This would also help to allow [running without Hadoop](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/7369), since Hadoop has been an optional dependency for Flink for quite some time. This way we can serialize Hadoops `Configuration` into a `Map<String, String>` and deserialize it into Parquets' PlainParquetConfiguration equivalent, which is probably much more lightweight. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
