Hi team, I just met some issues when trying Iceberg with quick start guide. Not sure if it is proper to send this to @dev mail list (seems there's no user mail list).
One issue is that seems current Iceberg cannot run with embedded metastore. It will throw an exception. Is this an on-purpose behavior (force to use remote HMS), or just a bug? Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.MetaException: Unable to update transaction database java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Table/View 'HIVE_LOCKS' does not exist. at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.SQLExceptionFactory.getSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.Util.generateCsSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.TransactionResourceImpl.wrapInSQLException(Unknown Source) Followed by this issue, seems like current Iceberg only binds to HMS as catalog, this is fine for production usage. But I'm wondering if we could have a simple catalog like in-memory catalog as Spark, so that it is easy for user to test and play. Is there any concern or plan? Best regards, Saisai
