December 2024: Iceberg integration hardened in deephaven-core. Implemented robustness fix to skip non-identity partitioning fields instead of failing, reducing read-time errors on diverse datasets. Added Pyiceberg2Test-based tests to validate catalog, table definitions, and data integrity with pyiceberg data. This work improves stability, reliability, and cross-compatibility with PyIceberg, delivering tangible business value through more robust data pipelines.
