Hi Team, I am working on adding a possibility to the Flink Iceberg connector to run maintenance tasks on the Iceberg tables. This will fix the small files issues and in the long run help compacting the high number of positional and equality deletes created by Flink tasks writing CDC data to Iceberg tables without the need of Spark in the infrastructure.
I did some planning, prototyping and currently trying out the solution on a larger scale. I put together a document how my current solution looks like: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16g3vR18mVBy8jbFaLjf2JwAANuYOmIwr15yDDxovdnA/edit?usp=sharing I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this to find a good final solution. Thanks, Peter
