Bug

What happened:
I created a DeltaTable where most of the columns have a float type. I tried to append a polars DataFrame to the DeltaTable but I got the following error by setting RUST_BACKTRACE=full

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at python/src/lib.rs:1513:48:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: CDataInterface("The datatype \"Float32\" expects 2 buffers, but requested 2. Please verify that the C data interface is correctly implemented.")

What you expected to happen:
I can append to a DeltaTable which is previously created.

@LoicRaillon can you please share the command used to create the table, at least enough of the schema to include the float definition?

[LoicRaillon]

I found the error. When a Delta Table is first created with DeltaTable.create, the appended data must respect the column ordering of the created DeltaTable schema.
