Using Athena SQL with external Iceberg REST Catalog

0

I have an external Iceberg REST Catalog implementation and I need to use that with Athena. Do we currently support this use case? If so, are there any documentation on how to do this? The closest use case that I could find is how Tabular integrates with Athena SQL. https://docs.tabular.io/athena

Yes, using an external Iceberg REST Catalog with Amazon Athena is supported through the integration capabilities provided by AWS, specifically designed for Apache Iceberg tables. This setup allows Athena to interact with Iceberg tables managed by external catalogs, enabling a wide range of data analytics operations directly on your data lake.

Thanks. Does that mean, I need to go on the route of creating data sources using a new Lambda function?

    Yes, integrating an external Iceberg REST Catalog with Amazon Athena typically involves setting up a Lambda function as a bridge between Athena and your Iceberg REST Catalog. This Lambda function acts as a custom data source connector, enabling Athena to communicate with the Iceberg REST Catalog and perform queries on the data it manages.
