   > sorry for posting here, ( asking from a user perspective) does this catalog support reading and writing iceberg table using third party tools ? is it compatible with Iceberg REST catalog, can I use it with pyiceberg ?
   
   It provides the same functionalities that an Iceberg custom catalog supports (https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/custom-catalog/), like the existing HiveCatalog. It supports read/write with Spark and Flink. It does not work with Trino (needs Trino integration here: https://github.com/trinodb/trino/tree/master/plugin/trino-iceberg/src/main/java/io/trino/plugin/iceberg/catalog).
   
   The BigLake Metastore API is not the same as the Iceberg REST catalog API spec, but they should be compatible and convertible via a proxy. We are happy to explore how to make it work with Iceberg REST client. Please let me know if you have any use cases.
   
   BigLake Metastore works with PyIceberg, we have a Python client: https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/biglake/latest. We need to contribute some code in PyIceberg for the integration.
