We convert it to a String because with Beam's distributed data processing framework, it's best practice to deconstruct custom Java objects to built-in types when passing data over the wire (as opposed to direct byte serialization that can change from one version to the next). For this scenario, we are deconstructing the DataFile to built-in java types, then reconstructing it later on. `file.partition()` returns a generic StructLike which is hard to reason about, so we manually build a partition path. Is there a better way to go around it? Maybe some Iceberg utils that we're not aware of? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
