+## Iceberg Ingest Extension
+
+This extension provides 
[IcebergInputSource](../../ingestion/input-sources.md#iceberg-input-source) 
which enables ingestion of data stored in the Iceberg table format into Druid.
+
+Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. Even though 
iceberg manages most of its metadata on metadata files, it is still dependent 
on a metastore for managing a certain amount of metadata.
+These metastores are defined as Iceberg catalogs and this extension supports 
connecting to the following catalog types:
+* Hive metastore catalog
+* Local catalog
+
+Support for AWS Glue and REST based catalogs are not available yet.
+
+For a given catalog, iceberg table name and filters, The IcebergInputSource 
works by reading the table from the catalog, applying the filters and 
extracting all the underlying live data files up to the latest snapshot.
+The data files are in either Parquet, ORC or Avro formats and all of these 
have InputFormat support in Druid. The data files typically reside in a 
warehouse location which could be in HDFS, S3 or the local filesystem.
+This extension relies on the existing InputSource connectors in Druid to read 
the data files from the warehouse. Therefore, the IcebergInputSource can be 
considered as an intermediate InputSource which provides the file paths for 
other InputSource implementations.
+
+### Load the Iceberg Ingest extension
+
+To use the iceberg extension, add the `druid-iceberg-extensions` to the list 
of loaded extensions. See [Loading 
extensions](../../configuration/extensions.md#loading-extensions) for more 
information.
+
+
+### Hive Metastore catalog
+
+For Druid to seamlessly talk to the Hive Metastore, ensure that the Hive 
specific configuration files such as `hive-site.xml` and `core-site.xml` are 
available in the Druid classpath.
