### Feature Request / Improvement I recently run into an issue where Iceberg tables exploded with the large number of delete files. While getting rid of them is not a problem, the problem is how long it takes, probably due to the sequential way of compaction. This literally takes 10-20 minutes per partition and should be optimized. Tested with Spark 3.4.2 and Iceberg 1.8.1. <img width="535" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99722d2e-767d-4fac-8094-a728e50fb24f" /> ### Query engine Spark ### Willingness to contribute - [ ] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [x] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
