Iceberg коннектор#
Примечание
Ниже приведена оригинальная документация Trino. Скоро мы ее переведем на русский язык и дополним полезными примерами.
Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. The Iceberg connector allows querying data stored in files written in Iceberg format, as defined in the Iceberg Table Spec. It supports Apache Iceberg table spec version 1 and 2.
The Iceberg table state is maintained in metadata files. All changes to table state create a new metadata file and replace the old metadata with an atomic swap. The table metadata file tracks the table schema, partitioning config, custom properties, and snapshots of the table contents.
Iceberg data files can be stored in either Parquet, ORC or Avro format, as
determined by the format property in the table definition. The
table format defaults to ORC.
Iceberg is designed to improve on the known scalability limitations of Hive, which stores table metadata in a metastore that is backed by a relational database such as MySQL. It tracks partition locations in the metastore, but not individual data files. Trino queries using the Hive коннектор must first call the metastore to get partition locations, then call the underlying filesystem to list all data files inside each partition, and then read metadata from each data file.
Since Iceberg stores the paths to data files in the metadata files, it only consults the underlying file system for files that must be read.
Requirements#
To use Iceberg, you need:
Network access from the Trino coordinator and workers to the distributed object storage.
Access to a Hive metastore service (HMS) or AWS Glue.
Network access from the Trino coordinator to the HMS. Hive metastore access with the Thrift protocol defaults to using port 9083.
Конфигурация#
The connector supports multiple Iceberg catalog types, you may use either a Hive
metastore service (HMS), AWS Glue, or a REST catalog. The catalog type is determined by the
iceberg.catalog.type property, it can be set to HIVE_METASTORE, GLUE, or REST.
Hive metastore catalog#
The Hive metastore catalog is the default implementation.
When using it, the Iceberg connector supports the same metastore
configuration properties as the Hive connector. At a minimum,
hive.metastore.uri must be configured, see
Thrift metastore configuration.
connector.name=iceberg
hive.metastore.uri=thrift://localhost:9083
Glue catalog#
When using the Glue catalog, the Iceberg connector supports the same configuration properties as the Hive connector’s Glue setup. See AWS Glue metastore configuration.
connector.name=iceberg
iceberg.catalog.type=glue
REST catalog#
In order to use the Iceberg REST catalog, ensure to configure the catalog type with
iceberg.catalog.type=rest and provide further details with the following
properties:

Table redirection#
Trino offers the possibility to transparently redirect operations on an existing table to the appropriate catalog based on the format of the table and catalog configuration.
In the context of connectors which depend on a metastore service (for example, Hive коннектор, Iceberg коннектор and Delta Lake коннектор), the metastore (Hive metastore service, AWS Glue Data Catalog) can be used to accustom tables with different table formats. Therefore, a metastore database can hold a variety of tables with different table formats.
As a concrete example, let’s use the following simple scenario which makes use of table redirection:
USE a-catalog.myschema;
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM mytable;
Query Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fragment 0 [SOURCE]
...
Output[columnNames = [...]]
│ ...
└─ TableScan[table = another-catalog:myschema:mytable]
...
The output of the EXPLAIN statement points out the actual
catalog which is handling the SELECT query over the table mytable.
The table redirection functionality works also when using fully qualified names for the tables:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM a-catalog.myschema.mytable;
Query Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fragment 0 [SOURCE]
...
Output[columnNames = [...]]
│ ...
└─ TableScan[table = another-catalog:myschema:mytable]
...
Trino offers table redirection support for the following operations:
Table read operations
Table write operations
Table management operations
Trino does not offer view redirection support.
The connector supports redirection from Iceberg tables to Hive tables
with the iceberg.hive-catalog-name catalog configuration property.
SQL support#
This connector provides read access and write access to data and metadata in Iceberg. In addition to the globally available and read operation statements, the connector supports the following features:
Schema and table management#
The Безопасность functionality includes support for:
CREATE SCHEMA#
The connector supports creating schemas. You can create a schema with or without a specified location.
You can create a schema with the CREATE SCHEMA statement and the
location schema property. The tables in this schema, which have no explicit
location set in CREATE TABLE statement, are located in a
subdirectory under the directory corresponding to the schema location.
Create a schema on S3:
CREATE SCHEMA iceberg.my_s3_schema
WITH (location = 's3://my-bucket/a/path/');
Create a schema on a S3 compatible object storage such as MinIO:
CREATE SCHEMA iceberg.my_s3a_schema
WITH (location = 's3a://my-bucket/a/path/');
Create a schema on HDFS:
CREATE SCHEMA iceberg.my_hdfs_schema
WITH (location='hdfs://hadoop-master:9000/user/hive/warehouse/a/path/');
Optionally, on HDFS, the location can be omitted:
CREATE SCHEMA iceberg.my_hdfs_schema;
Creating tables#
The Iceberg connector supports creating tables using the CREATE TABLE syntax. Optionally specify the table properties supported by this connector:
CREATE TABLE my_table (
c1 integer,
c2 date,
c3 double
)
WITH (
format = 'PARQUET',
partitioning = ARRAY['c1', 'c2'],
location = 's3://my-bucket/a/path/'
);
When the location table property is omitted, the content of the table
is stored in a subdirectory under the directory corresponding to the
schema location.
The Iceberg connector supports creating tables using the CREATE TABLE AS with SELECT syntax:
CREATE TABLE tiny_nation
WITH (
format = 'PARQUET'
)
AS
SELECT *
FROM nation
WHERE nationkey < 10;
Another flavor of creating tables with CREATE TABLE AS is with VALUES syntax:
CREATE TABLE yearly_clicks (
year,
clicks
)
WITH (
partitioning = ARRAY['year']
)
AS VALUES
(2021, 10000),
(2022, 20000);
NOT NULL column constraint#
The Iceberg connector supports setting NOT NULL constraints on the table columns.
The NOT NULL constraint can be set on the columns, while creating tables by
using the CREATE TABLE syntax:
CREATE TABLE my_table (
year INTEGER NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
age INTEGER,
address VARCHAR
);
When trying to insert/update data in the table, the query fails if trying
to set NULL value on a column having the NOT NULL constraint.
DROP TABLE#
The Iceberg connector supports dropping a table by using the DROP TABLE syntax. When the command succeeds, both the data of the Iceberg table and also the information related to the table in the metastore service are removed. Dropping tables which have their data/metadata stored in a different location than the table’s corresponding base directory on the object store is not supported.
ALTER TABLE EXECUTE#
The connector supports the following commands for use with ALTER TABLE EXECUTE.
optimize#
The optimize command is used for rewriting the active content
of the specified table so that it is merged into fewer but
larger files.
In case that the table is partitioned, the data compaction
acts separately on each partition selected for optimization.
This operation improves read performance.
All files with a size below the optional file_size_threshold
parameter (default value for the threshold is 100MB) are
merged:
ALTER TABLE test_table EXECUTE optimize
The following statement merges the files in a table that are under 10 megabytes in size:
ALTER TABLE test_table EXECUTE optimize(file_size_threshold => '10MB')
You can use a WHERE clause with the columns used to partition
the table, to apply optimize only on the partition(s) corresponding
to the filter:
ALTER TABLE test_partitioned_table EXECUTE optimize
WHERE partition_key = 1
expire_snapshots#
The expire_snapshots command removes all snapshots and all related metadata and data files.
Regularly expiring snapshots is recommended to delete data files that are no longer needed,
and to keep the size of table metadata small.
The procedure affects all snapshots that are older than the time period configured with the retention_threshold parameter.
expire_snapshots can be run as follows:
ALTER TABLE test_table EXECUTE expire_snapshots(retention_threshold => '7d')
The value for retention_threshold must be higher than or equal to iceberg.expire_snapshots.min-retention in the catalog
otherwise the procedure will fail with similar message:
Retention specified (1.00d) is shorter than the minimum retention configured in the system (7.00d).
The default value for this property is 7d.
remove_orphan_files#
The remove_orphan_files command removes all files from table’s data directory which are
not linked from metadata files and that are older than the value of retention_threshold parameter.
Deleting orphan files from time to time is recommended to keep size of table’s data directory under control.
remove_orphan_files can be run as follows:
ALTER TABLE test_table EXECUTE remove_orphan_files(retention_threshold => '7d')
The value for retention_threshold must be higher than or equal to iceberg.remove_orphan_files.min-retention in the catalog
otherwise the procedure will fail with similar message:
Retention specified (1.00d) is shorter than the minimum retention configured in the system (7.00d).
The default value for this property is 7d.
drop_extended_stats#
The drop_extended_stats command removes all extended statistics information from
the table.
drop_extended_stats can be run as follows:
ALTER TABLE test_table EXECUTE drop_extended_stats
ALTER TABLE SET PROPERTIES#
The connector supports modifying the properties on existing tables using ALTER TABLE SET PROPERTIES.
The following table properties can be updated after a table is created:
formatformat_versionpartitioning
For example, to update a table from v1 of the Iceberg specification to v2:
ALTER TABLE table_name SET PROPERTIES format_version = 2;
Or to set the column my_new_partition_column as a partition column on a table:
ALTER TABLE table_name SET PROPERTIES partitioning = ARRAY[<existing partition columns>, 'my_new_partition_column'];
The current values of a table’s properties can be shown using SHOW CREATE TABLE.
COMMENT#
The Iceberg connector supports setting comments on the following objects:
tables
views
table columns
The COMMENT option is supported on both the table and
the table columns for the CREATE TABLE operation.
The COMMENT option is supported for adding table columns
through the ALTER TABLE operations.
The connector supports the command COMMENT for setting comments on existing entities.
Data management#
The DML functionality includes support for INSERT,
UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE statements.
Deletion by partition#
For partitioned tables, the Iceberg connector supports the deletion of entire
partitions if the WHERE clause specifies filters only on the identity-transformed
partitioning columns, that can match entire partitions. Given the table definition
from Partitioned Tables section,
the following SQL statement deletes all partitions for which country is US:
DELETE FROM iceberg.testdb.customer_orders
WHERE country = 'US'
A partition delete is performed if the WHERE clause meets these conditions.
Row level deletion#
Tables using v2 of the Iceberg specification support deletion of individual rows by writing position delete files.
Type mapping#
The connector reads and writes data into the supported data file formats Avro, ORC, and Parquet, following the Iceberg specification.
Because Trino and Iceberg each support types that the other does not, this connector modifies some types when reading or writing data. Data types may not map the same way in both directions between Trino and the data source. Refer to the following sections for type mapping in each direction.
The Iceberg specification includes supported data types and the mapping to the formating in the Avro, ORC, or Parquet files:
Iceberg to Trino type mapping#
The connector maps Iceberg types to the corresponding Trino types following this table:
Iceberg type |
Trino type |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No other types are supported.
Trino to Iceberg type mapping#
The connector maps Trino types to the corresponding Iceberg types following this table:
Trino type |
Iceberg type |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No other types are supported.
Partitioned tables#
Iceberg supports partitioning by specifying transforms over the table columns. A partition is created for each unique tuple value produced by the transforms. Identity transforms are simply the column name. Other transforms are:
Transform |
Description |
|---|---|
|
A partition is created for each year. The partition value is the
integer difference in years between |
|
A partition is created for each month of each year. The partition
value is the integer difference in months between |
|
A partition is created for each day of each year. The partition
value is the integer difference in days between |
|
A partition is created hour of each day. The partition value is a timestamp with the minutes and seconds set to zero. |
|
The data is hashed into the specified number of buckets. The
partition value is an integer hash of |
|
The partition value is the first |
In this example, the table is partitioned by the month of order_date, a hash of
account_number (with 10 buckets), and country:
CREATE TABLE iceberg.testdb.customer_orders (
order_id BIGINT,
order_date DATE,
account_number BIGINT,
customer VARCHAR,
country VARCHAR)
WITH (partitioning = ARRAY['month(order_date)', 'bucket(account_number, 10)', 'country'])
Rolling back to a previous snapshot#
Iceberg supports a «snapshot» model of data, where table snapshots are identified by a snapshot ID.
The connector provides a system table exposing snapshot information for every
Iceberg table. Snapshots are identified by BIGINT snapshot IDs.
For example, you could find the snapshot IDs for the customer_orders table
by running the following query:
SELECT snapshot_id
FROM iceberg.testdb."customer_orders$snapshots"
ORDER BY committed_at DESC
Time travel queries#
The connector offers the ability to query historical data. This allows you to query the table as it was when a previous snapshot of the table was taken, even if the data has since been modified or deleted.
The historical data of the table can be retrieved by specifying the snapshot identifier corresponding to the version of the table that needs to be retrieved:
SELECT *
FROM iceberg.testdb.customer_orders FOR VERSION AS OF 8954597067493422955
A different approach of retrieving historical data is to specify a point in time in the past, such as a day or week ago. The latest snapshot of the table taken before or at the specified timestamp in the query is internally used for providing the previous state of the table:
SELECT *
FROM iceberg.testdb.customer_orders FOR TIMESTAMP AS OF TIMESTAMP '2022-03-23 09:59:29.803 Europe/Vienna'
Rolling back to a previous snapshot#
Use the $snapshots metadata table to determine the latest snapshot ID of the table like in the following query:
SELECT snapshot_id
FROM iceberg.testdb."customer_orders$snapshots"
ORDER BY committed_at DESC LIMIT 1
A SQL procedure system.rollback_to_snapshot allows the caller to roll back
the state of the table to a previous snapshot id:
CALL iceberg.system.rollback_to_snapshot('testdb', 'customer_orders', 8954597067493422955)
Schema evolution#
Iceberg supports schema evolution, with safe column add, drop, reorder and rename operations, including in nested structures. Table partitioning can also be changed and the connector can still query data created before the partitioning change.
Register table#
The connector can register existing Iceberg tables with the catalog.
The procedure system.register_table allows the caller to register an
existing Iceberg table in the metastore, using its existing metadata and data
files:
CALL iceberg.system.register_table(schema_name => 'testdb', table_name => 'customer_orders', table_location => 'hdfs://hadoop-master:9000/user/hive/warehouse/customer_orders-581fad8517934af6be1857a903559d44')
In addition, you can provide a file name to register a table with specific metadata. This may be used to register the table with some specific table state, or may be necessary if the connector cannot automatically figure out the metadata version to use:
CALL iceberg.system.register_table(schema_name => 'testdb', table_name => 'customer_orders', table_location => 'hdfs://hadoop-master:9000/user/hive/warehouse/customer_orders-581fad8517934af6be1857a903559d44', metadata_file_name => '00003-409702ba-4735-4645-8f14-09537cc0b2c8.metadata.json')
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing data, this procedure is disabled by default.
The procedure is enabled only when iceberg.register-table-procedure.enabled is set to true.
Migrating existing tables#
The connector can read from or write to Hive tables that have been migrated to Iceberg. There is no Trino support for migrating Hive tables to Iceberg, so you need to either use the Iceberg API or Apache Spark.
Iceberg table properties#

The table definition below specifies format Parquet, partitioning by columns c1 and c2,
and a file system location of /var/my_tables/test_table:
CREATE TABLE test_table (
c1 integer,
c2 date,
c3 double)
WITH (
format = 'PARQUET',
partitioning = ARRAY['c1', 'c2'],
location = '/var/my_tables/test_table')
The table definition below specifies format ORC, bloom filter index by columns c1 and c2,
fpp is 0.05, and a file system location of /var/my_tables/test_table:
CREATE TABLE test_table (
c1 integer,
c2 date,
c3 double)
WITH (
format = 'ORC',
location = '/var/my_tables/test_table',
orc_bloom_filter_columns = ARRAY['c1', 'c2'],
orc_bloom_filter_fpp = 0.05)
Metadata columns#
In addition to the defined columns, the Iceberg connector automatically exposes path metadata as a hidden column in each table:
$path: Full file system path name of the file for this row$file_modified_time: Timestamp of the last modification of the file for this row
You can use these columns in your SQL statements like any other column. This can be selected directly, or used in conditional statements. For example, you can inspect the file path for each record:
SELECT *, "$path", "$file_modified_time"
FROM iceberg.web.page_views;
Retrieve all records that belong to a specific file using "$path" filter:
SELECT *
FROM iceberg.web.page_views
WHERE "$path" = '/usr/iceberg/table/web.page_views/data/file_01.parquet'
Retrieve all records that belong to a specific file using "$file_modified_time" filter:
SELECT *
FROM iceberg.web.page_views
WHERE "$file_modified_time" = CAST('2022-07-01 01:02:03.456 UTC' AS timestamp with time zone)
Metadata tables#
The connector exposes several metadata tables for each Iceberg table. These metadata tables contain information about the internal structure of the Iceberg table. You can query each metadata table by appending the metadata table name to the table name:
SELECT * FROM "test_table$data"
$data table#
The $data table is an alias for the Iceberg table itself.
The statement:
SELECT * FROM "test_table$data"
is equivalent to:
SELECT * FROM test_table
$properties table#
The $properties table provides access to general information about Iceberg
table configuration and any additional metadata key/value pairs that the table
is tagged with.
You can retrieve the properties of the current snapshot of the Iceberg
table test_table by using the following query:
SELECT * FROM "test_table$properties"
key | value |
-----------------------+----------+
write.format.default | PARQUET |
$history table#
The $history table provides a log of the metadata changes performed on
the Iceberg table.

Materialized views#
The Iceberg connector supports Материализованные представления (materialized view). In the underlying system each materialized view consists of a view definition and an Iceberg storage table. The storage table name is stored as a materialized view property. The data is stored in that storage table.
You can use the Iceberg table properties to control the created storage
table and therefore the layout and performance. For example, you can use the
following clause with CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW to use the ORC format
for the data files and partition the storage per day using the column
_date:
WITH ( format = 'ORC', partitioning = ARRAY['event_date'] )
By default, the storage table is created in the same schema as the materialized
view definition. The iceberg.materialized-views.storage-schema catalog
configuration property or storage_schema materialized view property can be
used to specify the schema where the storage table will be created.
Updating the data in the materialized view with REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW deletes the data from the storage table, and inserts the data that is the result of executing the materialized view query into the existing table. Data is replaced atomically, so users can continue to query the materialized view while it is being refreshed. Refreshing a materialized view also stores the snapshot-ids of all Iceberg tables that are part of the materialized view’s query in the materialized view metadata. When the materialized view is queried, the snapshot-ids are used to check if the data in the storage table is up to date. If the data is outdated, the materialized view behaves like a normal view, and the data is queried directly from the base tables. Detecting outdated data is possible only when the materialized view uses Iceberg tables only, or when it uses mix of Iceberg and non-Iceberg tables but some Iceberg tables are outdated. When the materialized view is based on non-Iceberg tables, querying it can return outdated data, since the connector has no information whether the underlying non-Iceberg tables have changed.
Dropping a materialized view with DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW removes the definition and the storage table.
Table statistics#
The Iceberg connector can collect column statistics using ANALYZE
statement. This can be disabled using iceberg.extended-statistics.enabled
catalog configuration property, or the corresponding
extended_statistics_enabled session property.
Updating table statistics#
If your queries are complex and include joining large data sets, running ANALYZE on tables may improve query performance by collecting statistical information about the data:
ANALYZE table_name
This query collects statistics for all columns.
On wide tables, collecting statistics for all columns can be expensive.
It is also typically unnecessary - statistics are
only useful on specific columns, like join keys, predicates, or grouping keys. You can
specify a subset of columns to analyzed with the optional columns property:
ANALYZE table_name WITH (columns = ARRAY['col_1', 'col_2'])
This query collects statistics for columns col_1 and col_2.
Note that if statistics were previously collected for all columns, they need to be dropped using drop_extended_stats command before re-analyzing.
