I used Apache Spark to write an iceberg table to Amazon S3.
I then ran the code below to convert the iceberg table to delta, and the following exception occurred:

```python
spark.sql('convert to delta iceberg.`s3a://BUCKET/path/to/table_name/`')
```

```text
pyspark.errors.exceptions.connect.SparkException: [INTERNAL_ERROR] Eagerly executed command failed. You encountered a bug in Spark or the Spark plugins you use. Please report this bug to the corresponding community or vendor and provide the full stack trace. SQLSTATE: XX000
```

I'm leaving this message because they told me to contact the community or vendor.

```text

>>> result = spark.sql('convert to delta iceberg.`s3a://BUCKET/path/to/iceberg_table/`')
