Considerations for using Iceberg with Hive
-
Iceberg supports the following query types:
-
Create table
-
Drop table
-
Insert into table
-
Read table
-
-
Only the MR (MapReduce) execution engine is supported for DML (data manipulation language) operations, and MR is deprecated in Hive 3.1.3.
-
Amazon Glue Data Catalog is not currently supported for Iceberg with Hive.
-
Error handling is insufficiently robust. In cases of misconfiguration, inserts into queries might complete successfully. However, failure to update metadata can result in data loss.
