PROFILE

Scott Donnelly

Scott Donnelly developed robust delete-file support for the influxdata/iceberg-rust repository, focusing on accurate data pruning and efficient scan workflows. Over six months, he architected and implemented foundational components for parsing and applying both positional and equality deletes, integrating these features into ArrowReader and FileScanTask. Using Rust and leveraging technologies like Apache Iceberg and Arrow, Scott introduced structures such as DeleteFileLoader and DeleteFileManager, enabling row-level delete filtering and predicate generation for scan queries. His work emphasized data correctness, performance optimization, and maintainable system design, resulting in a well-tested, extensible foundation for advanced data engineering workflows in distributed environments.

Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 monthly summary for influxdata/iceberg-rust: Key feature delivered was the Scan Delete File Support for equality delete parsing, completing the end-to-end series of PRs to enable scan delete file support. The changes include adding parsing capabilities for equality delete files in DeleteFileLoader and extending CachingDeleteFileLoader to process equality delete record batch streams and generate predicates for delete conditions. This work centers on improving data correctness, query accuracy, and governance when handling deletes.

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025 monthly summary for influxdata/iceberg-rust: Implemented row-level delete support for ArrowReader and FileScanTask, enabling more precise data filtering and robust delete semantics across data files. This included computing RowSelection from a RoaringTreemap to exclude deleted rows from the RecordBatchStream and integrating equality-delete criteria via equality_ids in FileScanTaskDeleteFile. The changes improve data correctness during scans and set the foundation for stronger delete reclamation and performance optimizations.

February 2025: Delivered foundational support for positional and equality delete files within table scans in influxdata/iceberg-rust. Extended the FileScanTask to carry delete file paths and introduced DeleteFileIndex, establishing the architecture required for future optimizations and tighter integration with scan workflows. This groundwork enables more accurate data pruning and paves the way for future performance improvements in subsequent releases.

October 2024: Internal iceberg-rust maintenance focused on OpenDAL API compatibility and ensuring robust file existence checks after library upgrade. Upgraded OpenDAL to 0.50.1 and migrated deprecated is_exist usage to exists across the codebase, preserving I/O semantics and preventing runtime regressions.
