kszlim opened a new issue, #14633: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/14633
### Proposed Change Would it be possible to support unsigned datatypes? It would be a pretty large improvement to the expressiveness of apache iceberg and allow it to more cleanly map to parquet (the most commonly used storage format). As far as I can tell, the main reason it's not included in the spec is because of Iceberg's Java based origins (perhaps java based systems can promote the type into a decimal?). ### Proposal document n/a ### Specifications - [x] Table - [ ] View - [ ] REST - [ ] Puffin - [ ] Encryption - [ ] Other -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
