What Apache Iceberg REST Catalog is and isn't

This technical article clarifies the scope of the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog. It details what the REST catalog does—providing a uniform interface for table operations like create, read, update, and branch—and what it does not do, such as non-table operations or security. It emphasizes that it's a specification, not an implementation, and that support for it doesn't guarantee full functionality across all endpoints.
