We're using PyIceberg to read Iceberg tables stored in S3 as parquet. We have column names in the form of
id:foo
diagnostic:bar
using:
as a sort of delimiter to help us do some programatic maintenance on our side.In Parquet the column names are magically subbed in this case
:
->_x3A
and upon attempts at scanning/reading the data the schema of the table doesn't match the physical column names for PyArrow.The first pass is a naive fix for this that I have tested and works, but I'm looking for guidance on where you all want me to put this logic, and I'm happy to add it there instead.
