AWS Glue Data Catalog Gets Apache Iceberg V3 Superpowers

AWS Glue Data Catalog now fully supports Apache Iceberg V3 tables with automatic optimization, statistics generation, and crawler discovery across all AWS Regions. You can compact tables using binpack/sort/z-order strategies, clean up expired snapshots to cut storage costs, and generate NDV statistics for smarter query planning—all while handling fancy V3 data types like variant and geospatial.
