Iceberg produces partition values by taking a column value and optionally
transforming it. Iceberg is responsible for converting `event_time` into
`event_date`, and keeps track of the relationship.
-Table partitioning is configured using these relationships. The `logs` table
would be partitioned by `date(event_time)` and `level`.
+Table partitioning is configured using these relationships. The `logs` table
would be partitioned by `day(event_time)` and `level`.
Because Iceberg doesn't require user-maintained partition columns, it can hide
partitioning. Partition values are produced correctly every time and always
used to speed up queries, when possible. Producers and consumers wouldn't even
see `event_date`.
