   Hi, @camuel 
   
   >Does anyone has any insights on how computation heavy is the compaction 
workload really? Like on a beefy machine what compaction rate will be possible? 
Like 1GB/sec? 10GB/sec? A ball part figure? Separately what is possible 
compaction rate from first principles and what is typical compaction rate per 
node with today Iceberg impl.?
   
   I think it's hard to say the compaction rate. Compaction is a mixed 
workload, it involves io(read/write files), computation(reclustering, 
binpacking), so it's difficult to estimate the compaction rate. Things gets 
more complicated when we need to handle deletion files.
   
   As with partition spec change, it's typically lazy in iceberg, e.g. 
partition spec chanage is a metadata only operation in iceberg, and it's not 
part of compaction typically.
