DuckDB extension for Apache Iceberg

Documentation

See the Iceberg page in the DuckDB documentation.

Developer guide

Dependencies

This extension has several dependencies. Currently, the main way to install them is through vcpkg. To install vcpkg, check out the docs here. Note that this extension contains a custom vcpkg port that overrides the existing 'avro-cpp' port of vcpkg. The reason for this is that the other versions of avro-cpp have some issue that seems to cause issues with the avro files produced by the spark iceberg extension.

Test data generation

To generate test data, the script in 'scripts/test_data_generator' is used to have spark generate some test data. This is based on pyspark 3.5, which you can install through pip.

Building the extension

To build the extension with vcpkg, you can build this extension using:

VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN_PATH='<path_to_your_vcpkg_toolchain_cmake_file>' make

This will build both the separate loadable extension and a duckdb binary with the extension pre-loaded:

./build/release/duckdb
./build/release/extension/iceberg/iceberg.duckdb_extension

Running tests

Generating test data

To generate the test data, run:

make data

Note that the script requires python3, pyspark and duckdb-python to be installed. Make sure that the correct versions for pyspark (3.5.0), java and scala (2.12) are installed.

running python3 -m pip install duckdb pyspark[sql]==3.5.0 should do the trick.

Running unit tests

make test 

Running the local S3 test server

Running the S3 test cases requires the minio test server to be running and populated with scripts/upload_iceberg_to_s3_test_server.sh. Note that this requires to have run make data before and also to have the aws cli and docker compose installed.

Acknowledgements
