Querying metadata tables with open-source query engines
Note
The S3 Metadata feature is in preview release for Amazon S3 and is subject to change.
You can query your S3 managed metadata tables by using open-source query engines, such as Apache Spark. To query your metadata tables, you need the Amazon S3 Tables Catalog for Apache Iceberg client catalog (an open-source library hosted by AWS Labs).
