   That's a fundamental issue on "Spark" side, not "Iceberg" side. Spark only 
has the type "timestamp" which is used as "timestamp with timezone". Iceberg 
can't add the support of "timestamp without timezone" arbitrarily on Spark. 
Spark's "user defined type" is not a public API so Iceberg can't even expose 
the column of the type as UDT as well.
   
   There still has a possibility to expose it under "long" type, but you'll 
lose the characteristic of "timestamp" there. If we think it's still better 
than "don't support", probably a way to move forward.
