kamcheungting-db opened a new issue, #1099: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-cpp/issues/1099
Add support for persisted Iceberg SQL views so C++ applications can create, inspect, and manage view definitions through a REST catalog. The initial metadata types and validation are under review in https://github.com/apache/iceberg-cpp/pull/1069. This issue tracks the complete implementation and expands the view-related work listed in #273. ## Proposed scope - [ ] View metadata types, version history, representations, and validation — #1069. - [ ] View metadata JSON parsing and serialization, including preservation of unknown representation payloads. - [ ] View update and requirement types matching the REST wire contract. - [ ] A metadata builder for schema/version reuse, ordered updates, history retention, and dialect-removal checks. - [ ] A separate ViewCatalog interface and View handle, with an in-memory implementation for lifecycle tests. - [ ] REST read operations: load, exists, and paginated list. - [ ] REST mutations: create, replace, rename, drop, and register, plus property and location updates. ## Expected behavior - Existing table catalog APIs remain compatible. - View handles expose immutable metadata snapshots. Refresh checks the view UUID and installs metadata and response configuration together. - SQL representation lookup matches dialects without regard to ASCII case and reports an absent dialect. - REST operations honor advertised endpoints and reuse existing authentication and error-handling behavior. - Mutations preserve ordered update semantics and report uncertain commit outcomes without automatically replaying the commit. ## Validation - Metadata and JSON tests using view-format fixtures from the Java and Rust implementations. - In-memory lifecycle tests covering history, rollback, schema/version reuse, refresh, and snapshot immutability. - REST tests for request/response handling, endpoint discovery, pagination, conflicts, and uncertain commit outcomes. - A reference REST catalog integration test covering create, load, replace, rename, and drop. SQL parsing and planning, materialized views, production storage in non-REST backends, and conditional replacement beyond the standard REST requirements are outside this initial scope.
