Review comment:
       per https://iceberg.apache.org/#spec/#equality-delete-files, the 
equality delete file may optionally contain columns of the deleted row.  Could 
those optional columns along with the equality columns serve as a hint to 
locate the rows to delete, IFF the optional and equality columns happen to 
intersect with partition columns ?
