About:
The Iceberg CLI is a command-line tool designed for interacting with Apache Iceberg tables. It enables developers to perform essential operations like creating, inspecting, and querying tables directly from the terminal. This tool simplifies data management and exploration for data engineering workflows without requiring a full Spark or Flink setup.
Key Features:
  • Table lifecycle management (create, drop, rename)
  • Schema and partition inspection
  • SQL query execution against local or remote tables
  • Snapshot and metadata inspection
Use Cases:
  • Quickly inspecting Iceberg table metadata and schemas in development environments
  • Running ad-hoc SQL queries against data lakes for validation
  • Debugging table state and snapshot history
Alternatives:
  • Spark SQL – More powerful for large-scale ETL but requires a heavy cluster setup.
  • Trino – Excellent for interactive querying but acts as a full database engine.
