> I’m not sure it’s worth drawing a line in the sand over this particular issue and I’d like to talk about it a bit more as a community before we merge this. I don’t want to set a precedent of adding write requirements to the Iceberg spec that aren’t actually requirements for Iceberg. I feel like if we make this a pattern we will essentially be deferring design decisions and I don’t really feel comfortable with that. This is my main concern, I don't think the technical differences here really present blockers, they just add some warts. I also think compatibility between table formats is good goal, but I worry that due to governance differences between Iceberg and Delta, things naturally will go slower in Iceberg, so we would in most cases likely be ceding design to another project. I'm happy to take a wait and see approach on the more philosophical issue here and move forward on this (ultimately I think people doing the work should have more of a say on approach). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
