Page 12 of 130- 01Iceberg Is Becoming a Library, Not Just a Table FormatIceberg is turning from a JVM table format into a library other systems embed. What that shift changes for engines, catalogs, and the spec itself.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
- 02Iceberg Is Escaping the JVM: Why Rust, Go, Python and C++ Implementations MatterRust, Go, Python, and C++ Iceberg implementations change who can write the format. Why multi-language clients matter more than another JVM engine.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
- 03Iceberg REST Remote Scan Planning Changes More Than Query PerformanceRemote scan planning moves Iceberg file selection into the catalog. What that changes for engines, governance, and operational cost beyond query speed.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
- 04The Iceberg REST Catalog Compatibility Test: One Suite of Operations Every Platform Should PassOne suite of REST catalog operations every Iceberg platform should pass. What sameness means, where implementations diverge, and how to test it.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
- 05Iceberg v4's Adaptive Metadata Tree, Explained From First PrinciplesIceberg v4's adaptive metadata tree, explained from first principles: why commits rewrite too much today and how the tree makes change cheaper.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
- 06Iceberg Row Lineage: The Feature AI and CDC Workloads Will Eventually Depend OnIceberg row lineage gives rows a durable identity across rewrites. Why CDC pipelines and AI workloads will eventually depend on it.Apache IcebergAug 24, 2026
