   Hi, going through all the documentation with respect to partition evolution 
and metadata I was wondering whether it's possible to retrieve the actual 
definition of on which column or columns and potential transform(s) a table is 
partitioned.
   (https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-queries/, and 
https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/)
   
   Using spark SQL the partitions table provides only an insight in the actual 
partition values, not on how this is constructed. It points to partition spec 
id's but where can we find the actual partition spec by using Spark SQL or the 
pyiceberg api?
   
   It's not clear whether this is supported with pyspark or not.
   
   Since we want to dynamically change partitions we first would need to know 
whether partitions already exist and if yes, which table fields and/or 
transform functions are being used for the partitioning.
   
   thx!
