Review Comment:
Yeah field comments/aliases/default catalog are optional fields. According
to the table spec https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#writer-requirements optional
fields may be written but it's not required to be serialized, so just opted for
maintaining that optional fields can just be null at the API level.
Do you see any benefits to serializing empty lists/empty strings for the
optional fields?
