Package: icebergr 0.2.0

icebergr: Read and Write 'Apache Iceberg' Tables

A native client for 'Apache Iceberg', the open table format used by 'Snowflake', 'Databricks', 'BigQuery', 'AWS' and 'Dremio'. Rather than reaching 'Iceberg' through a query engine such as 'DuckDB', this package talks to it 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. This is a community package, not affiliated with or endorsed by The Apache Software Foundation; 'Apache', 'Apache Iceberg' and 'Iceberg' are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.
