   > Theta sketch serialization: The blob must be byte-compatible with Apache 
DataSketches so Java/Spark can read it. I don't see a maintained Go port of the 
compact Theta format, so my lean is to implement the compact serialization 
in-tree (bounded, and spec'd by DataSketches) and validate byte-for-byte 
against Java-produced fixtures — the same approach the DV code uses against 
Java. Flagging in case there's a preferred dependency I should use instead.
   
   What about 
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/apache/[email protected]/theta#CompactSketch?
   
   The plan looks good and I agree with @laskoviymishka that the PR breakown 
looks good.
   
   > I'd bake the Java-authored bytes into the repo and keep the tests 
Java-less, rather than standing up a JVM on the test path. That's already the 
pattern the DV code uses, and I think it's worth cloning that approach exactly: 
the Puffin fixtures live under table/dv/testdata, and the x-client tests read 
those bytes back through the reader with no Java at test time.
   
   I think we should do both. We have the `integration` tag for integration 
tests where we stand up a spark image and run queries hitting iceberg-java. We 
should have Java-authored bytes as testdata and keep the unit-tests Java-less, 
but we should also add to the integration tests. 
   
   > Separately, cc @nssalian: this is exactly the x-client byte parity that 
apache/iceberg-verification is for (see: 
[VOTE](https://lists.apache.org/thread/98ntkfmtrqhfj5w54x27tnxfq14fftqb)). I 
think the Theta/NDV parity vectors are a strong early candidate to live in the 
verification repo.
   
   Precisely! I agree completely here. My preference would actually be to add 
the Java-authored bytes and integration test strategy into 
`apache/iceberg-verification` and then just add it as a submodule here to use 
(similar to how github.com/apache/arrow-go uses github.com/apache/arrow-testing 
and github.com/apache/parquet-testing submodules with test files)
