Hi Luis, `IcebergGenerics` are a good way for a client to read an Iceberg table, but that doesn't run the scan in parallel. Since most people are interested in building Iceberg into engines like Presto and Spark, the documentation is at a slightly lower level: it explains how to configure Iceberg to return tasks that will be run by a database engine.
I think it would be good to have an additional page about reading from a single client. Would you like to contribute a doc about reading a table from a Java program using `IcebergGenerics`? rb On Sun, Jan 19, 2020 at 5:50 AM Luis Otero <lote...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi list, > > Documentation about scanning iceberg tables from jvm ( > https://iceberg.apache.org/api/#scanning) doesn't mention handy > IcebergGenerics ( > https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/blob/master/data/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/data/IcebergGenerics.java) > that (apart from missing time travel support) looks the natural way to go. > > Is that intentional (IcebergGenerics is a dead-end) or just an oversight? > > Thanks, > L. > -- Ryan Blue Software Engineer Netflix
