Description
I think it’s a great idea to split iceberg-kernel so we can separate the planning and execution stages.
We can follow delta-rs’s pattern to build it, providing a good abstraction for users to implement their own engine. In this kernel, we’ll let users plug in their own file IO and execution engine.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing linked issue #1819 and the completed issue #1314 to understand the existing work and boundaries. Define what separating planning from execution requires, including the user-provided file I/O and execution-engine abstractions. Done means an agreed kernel design that makes those components pluggable.
