   @Fokko saw the video and approach, I checked this out before.
   
   The problem is that `iceberg_table.scan().to_arrow()` actually returns a 
pyarrow `Table` not a pyarrow dataset. Creating a pyarrow table effectively 
causes materialisation which would therefore be lazy.
   
   See this behaviour 
[here](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/ba3653edce17b3d5abc1a34f13331e91b1de1fa9/python/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py#L815).
   
   I guess the changes need to be done on the pyiceberg side to return a 
pyarrow `Dataset` (lazy) and not a pyarrow `Table` (eager). this pyarrow 
dataset can then be easily fed to polars.
   
   If you see delta also has the 
[same.](https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs/blob/2f9a67f79f3d06367108925424609dfa1d24786e/python/deltalake/table.py#L487)
