What you're referring to sounds more like a file-based catalog (called the hadoop catalog in e.g. Spark/Iceberg java sdk). See [this issue](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/17; which was migrated from https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/3220, that has more of the actual discussion) for prior consideration of the topic, but tl;dr implementing a file-based catalog in pyiceberg was rejected at the time because complexity in implementation and risks of folks attempting to use it in production against object stores without atomic move operations. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
