Review Comment: Thanks for taking a look! We traverse the schema and build a `VectorizedReader` for each of the column in [VectorizedReaderBuilder](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/arrow/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/arrow/vectorized/VectorizedReaderBuilder.java#L71), this is done before DeleteFilte.[fileProjection](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/06dc721498d6ad95c86f0f884b8ad30f807ef321/data/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/data/DeleteFilter.java#L306) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
