Review comment:
       We've considered to use avro or pojo to consolidate the job-id and data 
files into a single structure. It could be considered as two separate issue: 
   1.  use avro or pojo to serialize/deserialize.  If use avro, then we need 
the detailed schema for the whole structure,  but the `DataFile`  hides its 
schema inside a non-public implementation `GenericDataFile`, that was designed 
intentionally because we don't want to expose the detail schema to upper users 
for iceberg-core.  POJO need all fields provide getter/setter, while the 
DataFile don't support setter now. 
   2. Making them into a single structure.  I think we could do but I'm not 
sure what's the benefit.
