Cloudera’s open data lakehouse, powered by Apache Iceberg, solves the big data challenges by providing a unified, curated, shareable, and interoperable data lake.
The Apache Iceberg REST Catalog provides metastore-agnostic APIs for Iceberg metadata operations, simplifying Iceberg table data sharing and consumption.
This REST Catalog abstraction allows real-time metadata access and simplifies the enterprise data architecture, reducing Time to Value, Time to Market, and overall TCO.
Cloudera’s open data lakehouse, powered by Apache Iceberg and the REST Catalog, enables sharing data with non-Cloudera engines in a secure manner.
This solution gives enterprises the ability to improve data practitioner productivity and launch new AI and data applications much faster.
Key features include multi-engine interoperability, time travel, table rollback, and a rich set of SQL (query, DDL, DML) commands.
Iceberg tables can evolve schema and partition layout without requiring data migration or application changes.
The post provides detailed steps to create an Amazon Athena notebook configured to use the Iceberg REST Catalog.
The solution reduces data duplication issues and complexity of ETL pipelines, and improves ROI.
