Hello Iceberg Dev, I am not sure I follow the discussion on Spark configurations on hive catalogs <https://iceberg.apache.org/spark-configuration/#catalogs>. I created an iceberg table with the hive catalog.
Configuration conf = new Configuration(); conf.set("hive.metastore.uris", args[0]); conf.set("hive.metastore.warehouse.dir", args[1]); HiveCatalog catalog = new HiveCatalog(conf); ImmutableMap meta = ImmutableMap.of(...); Schema schema = new Schema(...); PartitionSpec spec = PartitionSpec.builderFor(schema)...build(); TableIdentifier name = TableIdentifier.of("my_db", "my_table"); Table table = catalog.createTable(name, schema, spec); On a box with *hive.metastore.uris *set correctly in *hive-site.xml,* spark-sql runs fine with spark-sql --packages org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-spark3-runtime:0.11.1 --conf spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog=org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkSessionCatalog --conf spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog.type=hive spark-sql> INSERT INTO my_db.my_table VALUES ("111", timestamp 'today', 1), ("333", timestamp 'today', 3); spark-sql> SELECT * FROM my_db.my_table ; However, if I follow the Spark hive configuration above to add a table catalog, spark-sql --packages org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-spark3-runtime:0.11.1 --conf spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog=org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkSessionCatalog --conf spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog.type=hive --conf spark.sql.catalog.my_db=org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkCatalog --conf spark.sql.catalog.my_db.type=hive spark-sql> INSERT INTO my_db.my_table VALUES ("111", timestamp 'today', 1), ("333", timestamp 'today', 3); Error in query: Table not found: my_db.my_table; https://iceberg.apache.org/spark/#reading-an-iceberg-table states that "To use Iceberg in Spark, first configure Spark catalogs." Did I misunderstand anything? Do I have to configure catalog/namespace? Thanks for your time on this. -- Huadong
