@tanmayrauth Indeed, as @kevinjqliu is saying, this is staged for the open source sprints for PyData Amsterdam. After today, I'll delete the label, and everyone is welcome to jump in...

I've removed the label and this one is up for grabs. Keep in min that this issue requires `BooleanExpression` to extend `IcebergBaseModel`, so it would be good to get the...

If we need to convert from `uuid` to `fixed[16]` to fix this, I think that would be reasonable.
