Please describe the bug 🐞
GZIP has been the default compression for parquet files written via iceberg. "write.parquet.compression-codec" defaults to gzip. Snappy has been widely used for faster compression/decompression and has been the default in many engines (e.g Spark defaults to snappy compression). It will be nice to have SNAPPY compression as the default, so that end users need not change the table properties often.
