mosenberg opened a new issue, #11300:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/11300
### Apache Iceberg version
None
### Query engine
Spark
### Please describe the bug 🐞
The issue repros using the following SQL:
```sql
CREATE TABLE iceberg.NullabilityPartition(
group STRING NOT NULL,
val INTEGER
)
Partitioned BY (group)
TBLPROPERTIES(`format-version`=2,
`write.parquet.compression-codec`='snappy',
write.delete.format.default='parquet',
write.delete.mode='merge-on-read',
write.update.mode='merge-on-read',
write.merge.mode='merge-on-read');
INSERT INTO iceberg.NullabilityPartition Select * from VALUES
('foo',1),('foo',2);
```
As per the above SQL, the column `group` is defined as `NOT NULL` (i.e.
`required`) column in the Iceberg metadata schema. However, in the generated
avro manifest file, the partition tuple - which stores the value of the `group`
column by which the table is identity-partitioned - the partition value is
stored as an avro union type ["null", "string"].
As per my understanding of the Iceberg spec, this is not correct:
The output value of an identity [partition
transform](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#partition-transforms) is equal to
the source type - in this case `STRING NOT NULL`.
The section on [manifest files](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#manifests)
further states:
> Partition data tuple, schema based on the partition spec output
> using partition field ids for the struct field ids
Hence the schema of the partition tuple should be `"string"` and not
`["null","string"]`.
