I know the Apache Iceberg space may feel a bit crowded now that Godzilla?? and King Kong ?? have teamed up on the same table format. I've sensed a bit of an eye rolling sentiment when more Iceberg catalogs are being announced and I just want to remind you all that this is good and exactly what consumers need. We've grown too accustomed to having choices stripped away from us that we kind of now secretly desire the lack of choice because we anticipate a monopoly or oligopoly to form and so we coast on decision making until we see a "winner". I want to encourage you all not to follow that pattern as consumers in this data space. Imagine if standards like Iceberg could replace the consistency and interoperability that we as humans need and currently seek out from corporate ecosystems. Having your cake and eating it too! Imagine if the Iceberg standard becomes as ubiquitous as SQL or TCP/IP and we mold that format to meet the needs of scalable warehouse (aka lakehouse). When Tabular was purchased, I noticed a bit of a vaccum that was left its wake. We really need a permissively licensed project that provides not just a REST catalog implementation, but one that overlaps with security frameworks like OpenFGA and OpenID Foundation to continue the mission of centralizing governance around the most interoperable table format we have to date. This will continue putting pressure on our Godzillas and King Kongs and keep the will of the consumer alive in this industry. I believe Viktor and Christian have the right vision to bring a lot of what Tabular had to open and keep building a engine and vendor neutral platform that fills the Tabular void. Check out Lakekeeper! I'll be working on improving their docs along with the Iceberg docs so that those new consumers venturing into Iceberg can make informed decisions! #dataengineering
