   lookup function is for lookup join in Flink [1]. I have the same question as 
@zinking . normally lookup functions fit better for point query storage systems 
(like JDBC). 
   
   let's discuss the two scenarios separately
   * small Iceberg table that can fit into memory comfortably using caching. In 
this case, cache should always be enabled. I don't see a reason where cache 
should be disabled.
   * large Iceberg table. would FLILP-204 [2] help?
