   With the new RestAPI design, we should be able to use RDBMS or key-value store to replace the metadata.json files. The new APIs is WIP, the client will be provided in Iceberg repo, but user needs to implement the server side once the APIs are ready. However, I believe the open source server will be there eventually, it is probably another project.
   Other than metadata.json file, it needs a major overhaul to put manifest-list or manifest files into RDBMS/Key-value store. It is possible theoretically, but not sure it is the way people want to go.
