## What it is
A Rust implementation of the Apache Iceberg open table format for managing large analytic datasets. It provides crates for the core Iceberg spec plus catalog integrations (REST, AWS Glue, Hive Metastore, SQL, S3 Tables).

## Use cases
- read and write iceberg tables from rust
- manage lakehouse table metadata in rust
- integrate iceberg catalogs like glue or hive metastore
- query parquet data with schema evolution and time travel
- build a rust data pipeline on iceberg tables

## When to choose
- you need native Rust access to Apache Iceberg tables
- you want catalog integrations (REST, Glue, HMS, SQL, S3 Tables) in a Rust service
- you are building Rust data tooling on top of lakehouse storage

## When to avoid
- you need the full mature feature set of the Java or Python Iceberg implementations
- you need a turnkey query engine rather than a table format library
- you require production guarantees for features still under active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, serialization, data-science, etl
- domain: databases, big-data, analytics
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: apache-iceberg, table-format, lakehouse, parquet, catalog, schema-evolution, time-travel, data-engineering
