Problem Statement and Goals + +### 1.1 Problem + +**Gravitino currently cannot federate AWS Glue Data Catalog.** This is a significant gap because: + +1. **Large user base on AWS**: The majority of cloud-native data lakes run on AWS with Glue Data Catalog as the central metadata service (default for Athena, Redshift Spectrum, EMR, Lake Formation). These organizations cannot bring their Glue metadata into Gravitino's unified management layer. +2. **No native integration path**: The only workaround is pointing Gravitino's Hive catalog at Glue's HMS-compatible Thrift endpoint (`metastore.uris = thrift://...`), which is undocumented, region-limited, and cannot leverage Glue-native features (catalog ID, cross-account access, VPC endpoints). +3. **Competitive landscape**: Trino, Spark, and other engines all have first-class Glue support with dedicated configuration. Users expect the same from Gravitino. + +### 1.2 Goals + +After this feature is implemented: + +1. **Register AWS Glue Data Catalog in Gravitino**: + ```bash Review Comment: This should be a single catalog create command. A customer has one Glue catalog and they expect everything in the Glue to appear. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
