Hey all,
we just had our first sync for the rust iceberg developers and it was
great to talk to everyone.
The most important point that came up was the location where the rust
development should take place. The two options are either to have a
separate "iceberg-rust" repository or to create a "rust" folder in the
existing apache/iceberg repository.
The benefits of a separate repository are separate CI, simpler merging
of PRs and a more scalable solution if more languages are added.
The benefits of a subfolder in the existing repository are more
visibility, easier coordination with the java project and more feedback
from the community.
The developers currently working on the rust implementation slightly
favor a separate repository but would be okay with using the existing
repository.
It would be great if you could share your opinions on the topic. Maybe
this could also be a point for the community sync later today.
Hope you're all doing well. Best wishes,
Jan
