Hey community, I was following https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/9220 (Max number of columns) and down the rabbit hole and I found there are a lot of discussions about issues with tables having more than 1k columns. However, after reviewing discussions, it is still a little confusing to me. So I would like to check here:
My questions are: - Without considering performance penalty, do we have a hard limit on how many columns an Iceberg table can have, and once we exceed that, we will start to see failures? - Is it reasonable to say we should still expect some other failures to happen (but theoretically fixable) after a table has more than 1k columns? I would appreciate your answer and I would love to help to document the answer to my above questions. Thanks!
