Iceberg as a source for data

Hello, 

We have a project that is on 20.10 (will upgrade to classic when it is released later this quarter).

The customer has a source that is apache iceberg that we want to get data from but I can’t find any information regarding that for TimeXtender. 

Has anyone done this yet in TimeXtender, if it is even possible to ingest it?

Thank you

Hi,

As far as I know there is no native support for Iceberg (yet). 

if you are using 20.10.x / Classic I would expect you would need middleware to make this feasible. In theory you might be able to directly load the avro or parquet files from Iceberg storage, but then you would need to write ETL to properly manage it and that seems like a bad approach.

In TDI you could use Snowflake as the interface to query Iceberg, but you will still need some creativity I expect.
