Thank you Steven for helping secure the time slot for the vector type sync! And thanks everyone for your feedback on the design doc.
In preparation for tomorrow's discussion, I've created a draft PR https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/18416 for the spec changes based on the progress in the parquet community on the Vector type proposal [1 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/624>] [2 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nf30OqK_UqxA4YTEZQszmOBEG56m9M5mp9rIYC2SUWc/edit?tab=t.0>] , and will continue to iterate on both the spec PR and the design doc based on the discussion feedback.
