Apache Iceberg Partition Compaction and Lakehouse Maintenance Gate

id: iceberg-partition-compaction-and-maintenance-gate
namespace: company.lakehouse

description: |
  Autonomous Lakehouse partition maintenance gate for Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake tables.
  Profiles Parquet file distributions in DuckDB to measure small file fragmentation ratio and
  metadata bloat, conditionally triggers bin-packing compaction and snapshot expiration only on
  degraded partitions, and dispatches an itemized Lakehouse Health Scorecard to Slack.

inputs:
  - id: seed_demo_data
    type: BOOL
    defaults: true
    description: When true, generates synthetic partitioned Lakehouse file metadata
      with realistic small-file fragmentation for zero-setup execution.

  - id: small_file_threshold_mb
    type: INT
    defaults: 64
    description: Files smaller than this threshold in megabytes are classified as
      fragmented small files.

  - id: fragmentation_ratio_threshold
    type: FLOAT
    defaults: 0.35
    description: Partition fragmentation ratio (small files / total files) that
      triggers automated compaction.

  - id: snapshot_retention_days
    type: INT
    defaults: 7
    description: Age in days past which historical Iceberg table snapshots are expired.

  - id: table_identifier
    type: STRING
    defaults: analytics.events_lakehouse
    description: Target Iceberg table identifier (catalog.schema.table).
