Hello Iceberg Dev,
The Iceberg specification for matching delete files with data files during
scan planning states :

"The data file’s partition (both spec and partition values) is equal to the
delete file’s partition"

Equality of partition specs appears slightly ambiguous (apologies if I
missed this).  I can imagine two different definitions:
1.  Equality of partition spec identifier.
2.  Equality of each element in the partition spec tuple (which raises the
further question of which elements of a partition transform are considered
for equality). This is distinct from option one only when identical tuples
are allowed in the partition spec map with two different identifiers.

I would assume the definition should be based on the partition spec
identifier but wanted to clarify.

Thanks,
Micah
