FAQPage Schema
How do I query remote Iceberg tables from BigQuery?

You can query remote Iceberg tables from BigQuery by connecting remote Iceberg REST Catalogs to GCP engines. This federation allows BigQuery to directly access and query data managed by external catalogs like Databricks Unity or AWS Glue.

Can I use BigQuery to query data stored in a Databricks Unity Catalog?

Yes, BigQuery can query data stored in a Databricks Unity Catalog by federating the remote Iceberg REST Catalog. This connection enables cross-cloud data querying directly from your GCP environment.

What GCP IAM roles and APIs are needed to federate an Iceberg REST Catalog?

Federating an Iceberg REST Catalog requires Google Cloud APIs, specific IAM roles, and secret management. These dependencies ensure secure and efficient cross-cloud data access between your remote catalogs and GCP engines.

Does Spark on GCP support connecting to AWS Glue Iceberg catalogs?

Yes, Spark on GCP supports connecting to AWS Glue Iceberg catalogs. The federation process links the remote REST Catalog to your GCP compute engines, enabling cross-cloud data querying for analytics.

What is the best way to connect AWS Glue catalogs to GCP engines for cross-cloud querying?

The best way to connect AWS Glue catalogs to GCP engines for cross-cloud querying is by federating the remote Iceberg REST Catalogs. This approach integrates BigQuery and Spark without moving the underlying data.
