Querying metadata tables with open-source query engines
You can query your S3 managed metadata tables by using open-source query engines, such as Apache Spark. When using Apache Spark on Amazon EMR or other third-party engines to query your metadata tables, we recommend that you use the Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST endpoint. Your query might not run successfully if you don't use this endpoint. For more information, see Accessing tables using the Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST endpoint.
