+# Comet Roadmap
+
+Comet is an open-source project and contributors are welcome to work on any 
issues at any time, but we find it 
+helpful to have a roadmap for some of the major items that require 
coordination between contributors.
+
+## Major Initiatives
+
+### Iceberg Integration
+
+Iceberg integration is still a work-in-progress ([#2060]), with major 
improvements expected in the next few
+releases. Once this integration is complete, we plan on switching from the 
`native_comet` scan to the 
+`native_iceberg_compat` scan ([#2189]) so that complex types can be supported.
+
+[#2060]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/2060
+[#2189]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/2189
+
+### Spark 4.0.0 Support
+
+Comet has experimental support for Spark 4.0.0, but there is more work to do 
([#1637]), such as enabling 
+more Spark SQL tests and fully implementing ANSI support ([#313]) for all 
supported expressions.
+
+[#313]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/313
+[#1637]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/1637
+
+### Removing the native_comet scan implementation
+
+We are working towards deprecating ([#2186]) and removing ([#2177]) the 
`native_comet` scan implementation, which
+is the originally scan implementation that uses mutable buffers (which is 
incompatible with best practices around
+Arrow FFI) and does not support complex types.
+
+Once we are using the `native_iceberg_compat` scan (which is based on 
DataFusion's `DataSourceExec`) in the Iceberg 
+integration, we will be able to remove the `native_comet` scan implementation, 
and can then improve the efficiency 
+of our use of Arrow FFI ([#2171]).

+[#2177]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/2177
+
+## Ongoing Improvements
+
+In addition to the major initiatives above, we have the following ongoing 
areas of work: 
+
+- Adding support for more Spark expressions
+- Moving more expressions to the `datafusion-spark` crate in the core 
DataFusion repository
+- Performance tuning
