@openinx, @JingsongLi, I think that this is an important problem to address before the next release. I'm concerned about trying to maintain compatibility across Iceberg versions using Java serialization, especially if serialization is automatic. We discussed this in the Iceberg sync and most people there tended to agree that Java serialization is not a good candidate for serialization across library versions. Is there an option to serialize checkpoint state using something not based on the Java classes? What about using a JSON format that we can control? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
