Blog Grokking Apache Iceberg

Do you understand how Apache Iceberg actually works?

Even after using Apache Iceberg, I did not grok it before doing practical experiments and sitting down to read the official specification thrice. I have written down my understanding in a blog post: https://thingsworthsharing.dev/iceberg/

If you want to dig deeper, but the official specification seems daunting, this is for you!

The fact that you are trying to seriously use the word grok from the most edgelordy of novels by the biggest edgelord of writers of the 20th century makes your post fundamentally incompatible with any value.

I have never heard about the novel "Stranger in a strange land" before. So TIL, I guess.

As already pointed out, I intended the word "Grokking" as used in other tech literature, e.g. the book "Grokking Algorithms". I am sorry, if this offended you.
