Hi Everyone, I propose that we adopt Puffin file format as a file format for statistics and indexes in Iceberg tables.
Puffin file format specification: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/format/puffin-spec.md (previous discussions: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4944, https://github.com/apache/iceberg-docs/pull/69) Intend use: * statistics in Iceberg tables (see https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4945 and associated proposed implementation https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4741) * in the future: storage for secondary indexes Puffin file reader and writer implementation: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4537 Thanks, PF
