Documented Hive Catalog usage and added clear steps to run unit and integration tests, improving onboarding and testability. No major bug fixes were recorded this period; focus was on feature delivery, documentation, and testing workflow. Tech stack demonstrated includes Go, Iceberg-Hive integration patterns, Hive Metastore APIs, and robust docs/testing guidance, enhancing business value by enabling Hive-based catalog workflows and reducing onboarding time.

February 2025 – ankane/iceberg-go: Delivered a comprehensive CLI usage documentation update that improves onboarding, reduces support friction, and aligns Go tooling with the Python CLI. The update adds build/install instructions, practical CLI usage examples (e.g., list and create namespaces), and references to the pyiceberg CLI to ease familiarity for users transitioning between implementations. This was a documentation-only enhancement with no code changes, maintaining stability while delivering clear guidance and consistent UX across CLI tools.
