shangxinli opened a new pull request, #14435:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/14435
## Why this change?
This implementation provides significant performance improvements for
Parquet
file merging operations by eliminating serialization/deserialization
overhead.
Benchmark results show **13x faster** file merging compared to traditional
read-rewrite approaches.
The change leverages existing Parquet library capabilities
(ParquetFileWriter
appendFile API) to perform zero-copy row-group merging, making it ideal for
compaction and maintenance operations on large Iceberg tables.
TODO: 1) Encrypted tables are not supported yet. 2) Schema evolution is
not handled yet
## What changed?
- Added ParquetFileMerger class for row-group level file merging
- Performs zero-copy merging using ParquetFileWriter.appendFile()
- Validates schema compatibility across all input files
- Supports merging multiple Parquet files into a single output file
- Reuses existing Apache Parquet library functionality instead of custom
implementation
- Strict schema validation ensures data integrity during merge operations
- Added comprehensive error handling for schema mismatches
## Testing
- Validated in staging test environment
- Verified schema compatibility checks work correctly
- Confirmed 13x performance improvement over traditional approach
- Tested with various file sizes and row group configurations
