> look at how load_table works today: we return a Table model with all the metadata about the table, and this model exposes functionality for data scans, etc. So load_view would start with returning a model with all the metadata about the view (as specified in the spec), and then we can look at trying to add some DataFusion-based scan functionality in subsequent iterations. +1, I think it's a good idea to separate accessing the iceberg views from using them. The ability to read an iceberg view is great for general view operations. Even printing out what the view definition is would be a great feature to have. Connecting the view with an external engine can be a separate story. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
