I agree that it is cumbersome for users to construct `AvroGenericRecordReaderFunction` or `RowDataReaderFunction`. Since we can extract type information from generic `T`, one idea would to add a setter for type class to the builder. If the type class is `RowData`, builder constructs `RowDataReaderFunction`. If it is Avro `GenericRecord, builder constructs `AvroGenericRecordReaderFunction`. > > ``` > public outputType(Class<T> outputRecordTypeClass) > ``` > I think this is a good idea, but I think this would merit another PR.

Doesn't Iceberg Java API cover that already? For the metadata table, the most important use-case is when we read the metadata on the job initialisation and change the job based on the metadata read. Do we have use-case when we want to stream the results of the metadata query? Like when new files added to the table, or new snapshot created for the table? IMHO, this is something for another PR if we decide to do it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
