@ochanism The problem is that Hive is both a query engine and a metastore (catalog in Iceberg). The maintenance of the query engine (the support to read and write Iceberg), is now covered by the Hive community as of Hive 4. The catalog is still in the codebase of Iceberg, and will probably migrate at some point to Hive 4 as well. But I think that will take some time. There is also another discussion going on in parallel. Since Iceberg has its own catalog (REST Catalog), it might be that the REST catalog becomes the preferred catalog, and the other ones become deprecated at some point. You could easily support a Hive catalog behind a REST catalog interface. Or even better, provide a native REST catalog interface by Hive itself (https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/5145). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
