Hi, I am new to this iceberg implementation. I am part of kafka connector platform in my organisation. I would like to know the below details.

  1. Is there any way we can get premium support like dedicated support person with defined SLA?
  2. Since i am new to this iceberg platform, when we use iceburg kafka connector, where is this iceburg table be created?
  3. I would like to sync the data from kafka topic to s3 iceburg table format. does this require an iceburg instance in between? Kindly clarify.

Thanks. G. Ayyappan.

Hello,

  1. The connector is not yet a managed connector in Confluent, but you could reach out to them to see if they have any options for you. My company (Tabular) can provide premium support, contact bill@tabular.io if interested.
  2. Iceberg requires a catalog, and there are various catalog systems you can use, like REST, AWS Glue, Hive, JDBC, etc. Most of the time you'll set the location in your catalog config, e.g. a warehouse location, and tables will be created in this location.
  3. As mentioned, you will need a catalog, but Iceberg itself is a library and not a separate server running someplace.

The Iceberg Slack workspace is a great place to get general information on Iceberg, the community is very welcoming to new users.
