//! Iceberg sink implementation.
//!
//! This code renders a [`IcebergSinkConnection`] into a dataflow that writes
//! data to an Iceberg table. `SinkRender::render_sink` hands the sink a stream
//! of arrangement batches keyed on the sink key (the upstream arrangement's
//! trace reader is already dropped, so the spine is free to compact as
//! batches flow). A small `walk_sink_arrangement` operator consumes that
//! stream and emits one `DiffPair` per `(key, timestamp)` update into the
//! pipeline below.

//! # Minting batch descriptions
//! The "mint batch descriptions" operator is responsible for generating
//! time-based batch boundaries that group writes into Iceberg snapshots.
//! It maintains a sliding window of future batch descriptions so that
//! writers can start processing data even while earlier batches are still being written.
//! Knowing the batch boundaries ahead of time is important because we need to
//! be able to make the claim that all data files written for a given batch
//! include all data up to the upper `t` but not beyond it.
//! This could be trivially achieved by waiting for all data to arrive up to a certain
//! frontier, but that would prevent us from streaming writes out to object storage
//! until the entire batch is complete, which would increase latency and reduce throughput.
//!
//! # Writing data files
//! The "write data files" operator receives rows along with batch descriptions.
//! It matches rows to batches by timestamp; if a batch description hasn't arrived yet,
//! rows are stashed until it does. This allows batches to be minted ahead of data arrival.
//! The operator uses an Iceberg `DeltaWriter` to write Parquet data files
//! (and position delete files if necessary) to object storage.
//! It outputs metadata about the written files along with their batch descriptions
//! for the commit operator to consume.
//!
//! # Committing to Iceberg
//! The "commit to iceberg" operator receives metadata about written data files
//! along with their batch descriptions. It groups files by batch and creates
//! Iceberg snapshots that include all files for each batch. It updates the Iceberg
//! table's metadata to reflect the new snapshots, including updating the
//! `mz-frontier` property to track progress.
