> @the-other-tim-brown I'm trying to find a good first issue to ramp up on XTable. Can I take a look at this one? Perhaps we can split it into different issues. One initial task could be to add support for the Parquet input data format, for example? I'm not sure what the code looks like, but ultimately, we can create something modular enough to extend to AVRO or other formats later, if it hasn't been done already. I would be interested to discuss of the possible approaches to fill up the partitioning and statistics info... > I think it makes sense to start with just one of the file formats like Parquet. We can discuss how to get the info you would need. > However, just to check that I understand the scenario correctly: if today I wanted to bootstrap 2 different systems, Hudi and Iceberg, with existing Parquet files, couldn't I use the native capabilities of either system for a 1st initial import, and then use the current XTable to generate the metafiles for the remaining system? Yes you could do that as well. There is another issue I had my eye on that I could guide you through as well if you are interested: https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/issues/411 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
