@steFaiz , Thanks for the response. To clarify, my question is not about migration documentation, but specifically about loading data that already exists as Parquet files into a Paimon table. I want to understand whether Apache Paimon provides any supported mechanism to add or register external Parquet files into an existing Paimon table (for example, similar to Hive external tables or Hudi bootstrap), without rewriting the data through a full Flink INSERT job. If this is intentionally unsupported, it would be helpful to confirm explicitly that: External Parquet files cannot be added or referenced directly by a Paimon table The only supported way to load data is by reading the Parquet files and rewriting them through Paimon writers (Flink SQL / Table API / DataStream) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
