Feature request - Implement Iceberg REST Catalog API

[shirshanka]

GitHub Issue tracking public feature request - https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/p/add-support-for-iceberg-rest-catalog-api

Goals

Implement the Iceberg REST Catalog API Spec
Resources - https://iceberg.apache.org/concepts/catalog/#catalog-implementations

Benefits

Unified discovery and access for humans and machines (query engines) for lakehouse architectures.

Note

This is different from just “ingesting” metadata from iceberg using a connector. That solution already exists. (https://datahubproject.io/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/iceberg)
