Hi everyone, I would like to open a discussion[1] on providing GlueCatalog support in Flink. Currently, Flink offers 3 major types of catalog[2]. Out of which only HiveCatalog is a persistent catalog backed by Hive Metastore. We would like to introduce GlueCatalog in Flink offering another option for users which will be persistent in nature. Aws Glue data catalog is a centralized data catalog in AWS cloud that provides integrations with many different connectors[3]. Flink GlueCatalog can use the features provided by glue and create strong integration with other services in the cloud.
