Abstract

The subject technology provides embodiments for supporting a unified table which may be a managed table or an unmanaged table. Managed tables are those where the subject technology manages the metastore/catalog for the table, whereas unmanaged tables are tables where an external catalog controls the table and the subject technology integrates with that catalog to work with the table, but does not assume control of the table.
