python-v1.6.4
Summary
Python v1.6.4 adds DeltaTable.scan for lazy engine-native reads, column mapping creation, writer features like row-group boundary rolling, and performance improvements in partition splitting and zero-copy uploads. The release removes PartitionFilter in favor of kernel predicates (a breaking change) and fixes stability issues in schema merging for partitioned tables, deletion vector handling, memory leaks during uploads, and metadata-only scan batching.
