### Apache Iceberg version 0.14.1 ### Query engine Spark ### Please describe the bug 🐞 Positional delete files contain the file position and the filename. Currently pos (int64) is written in "BIT_PACKED, PLAIN" encoding. It will be good to consider writing it in "parquet.writer.version=2" which uses "delta encoding". Having it in "DELTA_BINARY_PACKED" reduces the size of the positional deletes by good margin (I observed 50% reduction for the same positional files). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
