+/**
+ * A generic builder interface for creating specialized file writers in the 
Iceberg ecosystem.
+ *
+ * <p>This builder provides a unified configuration API for generating various 
types of content
+ * writers:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@link DataWriter} for creating data files with table records
+ *   <li>{@link EqualityDeleteWriter} for creating files with equality-based 
delete records
+ *   <li>{@link PositionDeleteWriter} for creating files with position-based 
delete records
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Each concrete implementation configures the underlying file format 
writer while adding
+ * content-specific metadata and behaviors.
+ *
+ * @param <B> the concrete builder type for method chaining
+ * @param <E> engine-specific schema type required by the writer for data 
conversion

Review Comment:
   I intentionally try to keep a very separate API for the content file writers 
from the actual writers. In my mental model they are just "accidentally" 
similar. One is for the file formats to implement, one is for the users to 
write content files.
