### Query engine Flink 1.17.1 Iceberg 1.7.1 ### Question Hello there, Can someone explain to me why the official Iceberg documentation for Flink doesn't mention `org.apache.iceberg.flink.FlinkCatalog` as an alternative to the REST catalog to interface with Polaris? It seems like `FlinkCatalog` is the only way to perform table alterations (e.g., adding columns), but it doesn't support hidden partitioning since it doesn't work with the `PartitionSpec` class. Are these two classes meant to be used in different scenarios? What are the underlying differences in the implementation? Going forward, do you plan to integrate all the catalog features into one class? Thanks -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
