I think going into data lake settings makes lots of sense.
We already have parquet source operators for java and spark and a sink for
spark, we are missing a sink for java.
There is also a PR by Christoffer with Iceberg sources and sinks [1]
The question is which data engines do organizations having data lakes settings
use? Spark is one of them, I guess some DBMS as well, but what else that we do
not support? Apache DataFusion? Others?

Agree with Kaustubh, an parquet / Avro source and sink sound great and enables
Iceberg integration.
