### Feature Request / Improvement Currently, when we write a partition to Iceberg, the partition and will exists permanently unless we manually drop the partition, sometimes we may want to expire the partition automatically, and delete the data by snapshot expire to reduce the storage usage of metadata and data and also accelerate the table search. We can achieve the the goal by two steps: 1. Expire the explicit date partition 2. Expire the hidden date partition WDYT? ### Query engine Flink ### Willingness to contribute - [X] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [X] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
