### Feature Request / Improvement The request is for the CLI to be able to add a parquet file (created by another tool) to an existing Iceberg table. The closest equivalent functionality would be the [add_files](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-procedures/#add_files) Spark procedure. The idea is that some/any other tool can write a parquet file to a location in the table directory and then invoke the CLI to import that into the table with metadata-only operations. Specifically, the CLI just creates the manifests and snapshot metadata and can optionally validate the schema of the parquet file. Motivation: this would be an easy way to increase composability of Iceberg with other tools and serve as a waypoint on the way to getting full support for adding data via the python SDK. ### Query engine _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
