Does Kinesis Firehose destination support Glue table format of type Iceberg

Currently, Kinesis Data Firehose does not natively support direct streaming to AWS Glue with Apache Iceberg table formats as a destination. Kinesis Data Firehose can output to Amazon S3 in formats such as Parquet, which can then be used in conjunction with AWS Glue for further processing and management in Iceberg format. Once the data is in S3, you can utilize AWS Glue to manage and catalog these data into Iceberg format, which supports complex and analytical workloads with robust data management features.

For your specific situation where you had difficulties querying data possibly streamed via Firehose and managed as Iceberg tables in AWS Glue, you might need to check the setup or integration process between S3, AWS Glue, and the Iceberg format. Ensure that the AWS Glue crawlers are properly configured to update the data catalog and that the Iceberg tables are correctly formatted and updated.

As of now, there are no official announcements from AWS about plans to directly integrate Kinesis Data Firehose with Iceberg formats in AWS Glue. You might want to follow AWS updates or explore using a custom solution involving AWS Lambda or another processing layer to handle data transformation before loading it into Iceberg tables via AWS Glue.
