Hey Ajantha, Thanks for bringing this up, we should both remove the vendor reference and bring this back up to date. My preference would be to rely on the Spark image <https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/spark> provided by the Apache Spark project, similar to what we do for the Hive <https://iceberg.apache.org/hive-quickstart/> quickstart. We should be able to load all the Iceberg-specific JARs through the spark.jars.packages configuration <https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.5.1/configuration.html>.
