Currently, StarRocks does
not support Apache Iceberg v3. It officially supports Iceberg
v1 and
v2 tables (including position and equality deletes).
Roadmap for Iceberg v3
Support for the Iceberg v3 specification is a high-priority item on the
StarRocks 2026 Roadmap. Key planned features related to v3 include:
*
Full Spec Compliance: Achieving full compatibility with the Iceberg v3 table format.
*
Iceberg Variant Type: Support for the new
Variant data type introduced in v3.
*
Advanced Statistics: Leveraging the Puffin file format for enhanced cost-based optimization.
*
Deletion Vectors: Improved handling of delete operations as defined in the newer specifications.
