Description

Feature Request / Improvement

We have reached good consensus on the https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/12584. Before merging this new Endpoint to the REST Catalog Specification, we want to implement core classes.

This issue depends on https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/13580 and targets the implementation of Server Handlers for the new Endpoint /v1/{prefix}/events.
