Consider a common scenario: A streaming pipeline continuously writes data to an Iceberg table while scheduled maintenance jobs perform compaction operations. Although Iceberg provides built-in mechanisms to handle concurrent writes, certain conflict scenarios—such as between streaming updates and compaction operations—can lead to transac…
