The previous post, Iceberg REST Catalog with Hive Metastore, showed how to set up the Iceberg REST Catalog backed by the Hive Metastore. In this post, we’ll dive deep into the motivation behind this architecture and go over some of the pros and cons of this approach.
The Open source Iceberg doesn't provide an open source REST catalog server implementation. Don't you think it is concerning? As an open source user, I have to depend on some vendor for the REST catalog implementation. So, how it the best choice?
Definitely agree with you on the lack of open source REST catalog server implementations. One of the benefit of the REST Catalog is that the specification is documented and can be implemented. I've been working on something that can be help here.
