   I was thinking something like
   
   **add_files**.(**table** => "db.sample", **directory** => "/some/dir/files/", **format** => "parquet")
   
   **Table** = "The iceberg table we are adding files to"
   **Directory** = "The source directory where the files are located"
   **Format** = "The reader used with these files (parquet, orc, avro ...)
   
   I believe the output should be something like
   
   | Partition | Files Added |
   | --------------  | ------------|
   | "Foo", "1"          | 5                 |
   | "Foo", "2"         |  6               |
   
   This command would basically go through all of the files under the provided directory, and add them all directly to the table. The files would not be read of scanned so it would be up to the user to only add files with correct columns or to adjust the table column mapping to match.
