Hey Anton, Yes, that is correct. I am focusing on the translation logic.
Regarding completeness, I plan to cover all Delta Lake features that have equivalents in Apache Iceberg v3. For example, we will convert Delta’s deletion vectors to Iceberg deletion vectors. However, features like appendOnly won't be included as Iceberg doesn't natively support them in the same way. In terms of *XTable*, while the tools solve similar problems, XTable is a more generic solution. My implementation is specific to the Delta-to-Iceberg path and directly extends the existing Iceberg API <https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.4.3/delta-lake-migration/>. Additionally, I’ve been tracking XTable for over six months; it appears to be less active recently and currently lacks support for key features like Iceberg deletion vectors.
