PROFILE

Shawn Chang

Contributed to the apache/iceberg-rust repository by developing a purge_table API that enables safe deletion of table data and metadata across multiple catalog types, addressing data lifecycle management and compliance needs. The implementation involved extending the Catalog trait in Rust, providing both default and specialized logic for S3TableCatalog and RestCatalog, and introducing comprehensive tests to ensure reliability and prevent data leakage. In addition to backend development and API design, also focused on release management by enhancing documentation for the release process, clarifying verification steps, and improving onboarding for new contributors. Work emphasized maintainability, governance, and robust cross-catalog data handling.

March 2026: Delivered Purge Table Data and Metadata Removal for apache/iceberg-rust, enabling safe deletion of a table's data and metadata across catalogs and preventing data leakage. Implemented purge_table API on the Catalog trait with a default implementation and specialized it for S3TableCatalog and RestCatalog; added helpers in catalog/utils.rs and introduced tests across catalog types (table_suite). This work enhances data lifecycle management, cross-catalog governance, and compliance readiness. Notable commit 56fda82f3ad68f3231ece7150f52b78df71bb06e (feat! catalog) with Closes #2133; tests added.
