kevinjqliu opened a new issue, #1493: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1493
### Apache Iceberg version None ### Please describe the bug 🐞 Current we cannot add the parent field with its child nested field in the same transaction. For example, ``` with table.update_schema() as update: # In a struct update.add_column("details", StructType()) update.add_column(("details", "confirmed_by"), StringType(), "Name of the exchange") ``` To reproduce: ``` from pyiceberg.catalog.sql import SqlCatalog from pyiceberg.schema import Schema from pyiceberg.types import DoubleType, IntegerType, NestedField, StringType, StructType warehouse_path = "/tmp/warehouse" catalog = SqlCatalog( "default", uri=f"sqlite:///{warehouse_path}/pyiceberg_catalog.db", warehouse=f"file://{warehouse_path}", ) schema = Schema( NestedField(1, "city", StringType(), required=False), NestedField(2, "lat", DoubleType(), required=False), NestedField(3, "long", DoubleType(), required=False), ) catalog.create_namespace_if_not_exists("default") try: catalog.drop_table("default.locations") except: pass table = catalog.create_table("default.locations", schema) with table.update_schema() as update: update.add_column("retries", IntegerType(), "Number of retries to place the bid") # In a struct update.add_column("details", StructType()) update.add_column(("details", "confirmed_by"), StringType(), "Name of the exchange") ``` Error: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module> File "/Users/kevinliu/repos/iceberg-python/pyiceberg/table/update/schema.py", line 192, in add_column parent_field = self._schema.find_field(parent_full_path, self._case_sensitive) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/Users/kevinliu/repos/iceberg-python/pyiceberg/schema.py", line 215, in find_field raise ValueError(f"Could not find field with name {name_or_id}, case_sensitive={case_sensitive}") ValueError: Could not find field with name details, case_sensitive=True ``` ### Willingness to contribute - [ ] I can contribute a fix for this bug independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute a fix for this bug with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute a fix for this bug at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
