   > We write using hadoop catalog, but need to read from hive catalog for special reasons (for example, we need to create a hive view to read table, hadoop catalog can't create hive view).
   
   @yabola: It is possible to create Hive external tables where the Catalog is HadoopCatalog. So you can store your Iceberg tables in your desired Iceberg Catalog, and you still can query them from Hive, in the same way as any other table.
   See: https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/hive/#catalog-management
   
   Would this help in your use case?
   
   That said, I still agree with the goal for this issue, but I think we should try to avoid cases where an Iceberg table is registered to multiple Iceberg catalogs.
