@kevinjqliu after investigation I found out it happens after I append pyarrow table without list field specified in schema as optional. Example table with schema ```python from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog catalog = load_catalog(**dict(type="in-memory")) from pyiceberg.schema import Schema from pyiceberg.types import NestedField, StringType, DoubleType, LongType, ListType schema = Schema( NestedField(field_id=1, name="name", field_type=StringType(), required=False), NestedField( field_id=3, name="my_list", field_type=ListType( element_id=45, element=StringType(), element_required=False ), required=False, ), ) catalog.create_namespace_if_not_exists("test") catalog.create_table_if_not_exists("test.table", schema) ``` I append dataset with my_list: ```python import pyarrow as pa df_1 = pa.Table.from_pylist([ {"name": "one", "my_list": ["test"]}, {"name": "another", "my_list": ["test"]}, ]) catalog.load_table("test.table").append(df_1) ``` Read works ```python catalog.load_table("test.table").scan().to_arrow() ``` I append dataset without my_list: ```python import pyarrow as pa df_2 = pa.Table.from_pylist([ {"name": "one"}, {"name": "another"}, ]) catalog.load_table("test.table").append(df_2) ``` This time it won't work ```python catalog.load_table("test.table").scan().to_arrow() ``` it will throw > ValueError: Parquet file does not have field-ids and the Iceberg table does not have 'schema.name-mapping.default' defined -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
