A native client for 'Apache Iceberg', the open table format used by 'Snowflake', 'Databricks', 'BigQuery', 'AWS' and 'Dremio'. R has otherwise been able to read 'Iceberg' tables only by routing through 'DuckDB' as an intermediary, which rules out writes, snapshot management and catalog integration. This package talks to 'Iceberg' directly: it connects to REST and 'AWS Glue' catalogs, lists namespaces and tables, reads the schema and partition specification of a table, scans data with predicates and projections pushed down, travels back through snapshot history, and appends new data. 'Apache Arrow' is the interchange layer throughout, so scan results arrive in R without a serialisation round trip. Built on 'iceberg-rust', the Apache-governed 'Rust' implementation, via 'extendr'. Supports table spec versions 1 and 2; see the 'README' for the full matrix of supported and unsupported features.
