Module view

View management for Apache Iceberg tables

This module provides the core functionality for working with Iceberg views:

• Creating and managing views through the View struct
• Atomic updates via transaction support
• Schema evolution and versioning
• View metadata management
• Integration with catalogs and object stores

Views provide a logical abstraction over underlying data, supporting:

• SQL-based view definitions
• Schema evolution tracking
• Version history
• Properties and configuration
• Metadata management

Example

use iceberg_rust::view::View;

// Create a new view using the builder pattern
let mut view = View::builder()
    .with_name("example_view")
    .with_schema(/* ... */)
    .build()
    .await?;

// Start a transaction to update the view
view.new_transaction(None)
    .update_properties(vec![("comment".into(), "Example view".into())])
    .commit()
    .await?;

Modules
