metadata, Iceberg supports me
Metadata tables are identified by adding the metadata table name after the
original table name. For example, history for `db.table` is read using
`db.table.history`.
{{< hint info >}}
-As of Spark 3.0, the format of the table name for inspection
(`catalog.database.table.metadata`) doesn't work with Spark's default catalog
(`spark_catalog`). If you've replaced the default catalog, you may want to use
`DataFrameReader` API to inspect the table.
+For Spark 2.4, use the `DataFrameReader` API to [inspect
tables](#inspecting-with-dataframes).
+
+For Spark 3, prior to 3.2, the Spark [session
catalog](../spark-configuration#replacing-the-session-catalog) does not support
table names with multipart identifiers such as
`catalog.database.table.metadata`. As a workaround, configure an
`org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkCatalog`, or use the Spark `DataFrameReader` API.
