Hey everyone, I think we should split out the idea of implementing the full hadoop catalog, and just being able to read a table from a metadata URL. For the latter, I've created a new issue: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/6430 My apologies for invoking the negative feelings around the HadoopCatalog, and I fully agree that this is something we should avoid in PyIceberg. However, I do see a lot of value in just reading (not writing!) and just using a path to the metadata. @srilman I've recently started working on [integration tests](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/6398) that write tables using Spark (since PyIceberg doesn't have any read support), and these are shared using the RestCatalog. Would love to get your thoughts on that! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
