To be clear, when you use Iceberg with Spark, Iceberg's timestamp type works just fine. So this is only necessary when working with other systems. And I believe Spark can already write the INT64 timestamps that Iceberg uses. Iceberg is strict about the files that it writes and uses the timestamps specified in Parquet. The INT96 timestamps have a ton of problems, so it's really unlikely that it would ever make sense for Iceberg to write them. Iceberg could _read_ data files with those timestamps, but they would have to be existing data files imported by converting a Parquet/Hive table over to Iceberg. I guess if someone needed to implement that, we'd review it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
