Hi All, I’d like to initiate a discussion around changing the default table format to Iceberg in the upcoming releases.
Since we began development, Hive-Iceberg integration has matured significantly. Given the increasing market traction and growing user interest, I believe it might be the right time to consider making Iceberg the default table format. I’d love to hear what others think — whether this is a good idea, any potential challenges we might face, or if there are specific prerequisites we should address before moving in this direction. Personally, I’m quite inclined towards this change, but of course, open to hearing different perspectives. Looking forward to your thoughts! -Ayush
