### Proposed Change This proposal aims to enhance the handling of position deletes in Iceberg. It builds on lessons learned from deploying the current approach at scale and addresses all unresolved questions from past community discussions and proposals. This effort primarily targets the V3 spec but some parts can be completed independently. Shortcomings of position deletes we observe today: - Choosing between fewer delete files on disk (partition granularity) or targeted deletes (file granularity). - Dependence on external maintenance for consistent write and read performance. - Writing and reading overhead as in-memory and on-disk representations differ. ### Proposal document https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Bqhr-vnzFfQk1S4AgRISkA_5_m5m32Nnc2Cw0zn2XM ### Specifications - [X] Table - [ ] View - [ ] REST - [X] Puffin - [ ] Encryption - [ ] Other -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
