Fokko opened a new issue, #1819: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1819
### Feature Request / Improvement The VariantType is a semi-structured type that's part of V3. - Hopefully, the Parquet format will be released soon: https://lists.apache.org/thread/mr8krzdy8qslhhy5zbll53fd2hy6cpwg - Once that's in, I'll be added to Arrow: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/45375 - I think for PyIceberg, we need to wait for PyArrow support. There is a Python implementation in Spark that we could vendor into the project, but that will be pretty slow: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/python/pyspark/sql/variant_utils.py Thoughts?
