   @ebyhr, I don't think that this makes sense. `ContentFile` is the base class 
that we use when storing or retrieving `DataFile` and `DeleteFile` in Iceberg 
metadata. Adding modified time like this would require tracking file 
modification time in Iceberg metadata.
   
   Tracking modified time in Iceberg metadata isn't necessary. The files in an 
Iceberg table are considered immutable and they should never be modified. The 
only time that actually matters for an Iceberg file is when the file was added 
to Iceberg metadata, but that should be tracked by the added snapshot, not by 
adding more metadata to manifest files.
   
   Without a description, it's hard to tell what you're trying to accomplish 
with this, so I'm going to close it. If you want, add a description that 
explains why you're making this change and we can help you solve your problem.
