AWS lake-formation documentation change
Summary
Added limitations section with Iceberg table metadata size constraints (20MB) and optimization guidance.
Security assessment
This documents technical limitations but doesn't reference security vulnerabilities or security features. Size constraints could prevent denial-of-service but aren't explicitly security-focused.
