### Query engine _No response_ ### Question Puffin file is introduced in iceberg V3, which serves as a container file to store any types of blobs. According to the [spec](https://iceberg.apache.org/puffin-spec/), ``` A Puffin file contains arbitrary pieces of information (here called "blobs"), along with metadata necessary to interpret them. ``` It reads to me, as long as the new introduced blob type doesn't break the following requirement, it's a valid blob. (1) the query engine (i.e. self-made one) could parse and understand the blob within (2) it doesn't break compatibility with existing iceberg spec (for example, a self-made compression algorithm could break system who has no idea how to decompress). One example I'm thinking is customized index upon data files. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
