Thanks for your suggestion and comment for this, @kbendick @jackye1995 . Actually I tried using hive engine enabled option, however it didn't work well, failed with ` org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unable to fetch table iceberg_1636005278. StorageDescriptor#InputFormat cannot be null for table: iceberg_1636005278 (Service: null; Status Code: 0; Error Code: null; Request ID: null; Proxy: null)`. Also the #3468 still doesn't fix this. It's because that renaming a Glue Data Catalog table with SparkSQL itself (not through Iceberg renaming) needs the input/outformat and serdelib in the StorageDescriptor part at least. The Glue Data Catalog doesn't support renaming a table. So if we try renaming the table whose input/output format and serdelib part is filled in, `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Table rename is not supported` error will be thrown. I think this message be expected for users. I totally agree your comment on this change, the problem is not critical and the change might not be flexible for the future. However the error message is also misleading and I will think about a better solution. Closing this. Thanks for your kind discussion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
