Review comment:
       > I thought we were planning on flattening the structure instead of 
having package here?
   I think a flat structure makes the usage look cleaner (i.e. `from iceberg 
import Catalog` instead of `from iceberg.catalog import Catalog`). On the flip 
side, developing for the library feels more manageable when everything is 
grouped into single-responsibility packages. I think we can get the best of 
both worlds by organizing the directory/package structure to optimize for the 
latter, and then defining an `__all__` array in the root `__init__.py` that 
bubbles up everything the user needs to a flat API at the top-level. How does 
that sound?
