Classloading does seem like an issue while using it with Spark Connect 3.5
and iceberg >= 1.4 version only though.
It's weird as I also mentioned in previous email that after adding spark
property (spark.executor.userClassPathFirst=true) both classes gets loaded
from same classloader - org.apache.
I’d like to volunteer for the selection committee as well.
I have experience speaking at the recent Airflow Summit, so I have an idea of
what preparing for that could look like for a speaker. I’d be happy to guide
them through the process and help contribute to the success of this conference
