brandur opened a new issue, #696:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go/issues/696
### Feature Request / Improvement
Given an empty project with Iceberg-go as its only dependency:
``` sh
cat main.go
```
```go
package main
import (
_ "github.com/apache/iceberg-go"
_ "github.com/apache/iceberg-go/catalog"
_ "github.com/apache/iceberg-go/catalog/rest"
_ "github.com/apache/iceberg-go/io"
_ "github.com/apache/iceberg-go/table"
)
func main() {
}
```
```sh
head go.mod
```
```
module github.com/brandur/iceberg-go-test
go 1.25.6
require github.com/apache/iceberg-go v0.4.1-0.20260123180146-3ce3b4bb51c0
require (
atomicgo.dev/cursor v0.2.0 // indirect
atomicgo.dev/keyboard v0.2.9 // indirect
atomicgo.dev/schedule v0.1.0 // indirect
```
Iceberg-go adds ~1s of compile overhead (on my commodity laptop). This might
not be the end of the world, but you end up soaking it up on every test run
compile and test run, which is fairly painful for any projects using Iceberg-go:
```
$ go test .
ok github.com/brandur/iceberg-go-test 0.781s [no tests to run]
```
The project has about 130 dependencies. Manually inspecting the list, a big
number of them are from the three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google).
Being able to jettison those would probably help a lot.
An approach that we took in one of our projects (River) is to use a "driver"
system wherein you have sub-modules for major dependencies so users can pull
them in piece by piece. e.g.
https://github.com/riverqueue/river/tree/master/riverdriver
It's far from perfect as Go's multi-module handling leaves a lot to be
desired, but it works reasonably well, and a similar approach would probably
help Iceberg-go in the longer run. Thoughts?
