Support for Iceberg Table Version 3 in Glue Data Catalog CreateTable API

Thank you for reaching out about Iceberg table version 3 support in AWS Glue Data Catalog. I understand your need to provision Apache Iceberg V3 tables through the CreateTable API for Infrastructure as Code workflows.

Based on the current AWS Glue documentation, the CreateTable API's IcebergInput structure supports a Version parameter that defaults to version 2, and the valid values are currently limited to versions 1 and 2. This aligns with the error message you're receiving when attempting to create a version 3 table.

I appreciate you sharing the context about the Terraform provider limitation and the broader community impact. While I can confirm the current API limitation you've encountered, I'm not able to directly add items to the product team's backlog or provide timelines for feature releases.

To formally submit this as a feature request and ensure it reaches the appropriate AWS Glue product team, I recommend:

1. Opening a support case through AWS Support if you have a support plan, which provides a direct channel to the service team
2. Providing feedback through the AWS Glue console feedback mechanism
3. Working with your AWS account team or Technical Account Manager if you have one, as they can advocate for feature requests on your behalf

These channels will ensure your request is properly tracked and considered for future releases. The product team evaluates feature requests based on customer demand and use cases like yours, so providing detailed context about your requirements and the impact on your workflows is valuable.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback about Iceberg V3 support.
