   Yes, we should support this. I think 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/pull/786 fixes this.
   
   Looking at the schema, only the `decimal` ones are different. And we support 
increased precision, as long as the scale stays the same:

   Keep in mind that when people migrate from an existing Hive table to Iceberg 
(which is a pretty common scenario), we'll bump into this kind of thing more 
often, and I think that's okay to accommodate that, as long that it is 
perfectly safe.
