@kapa.ai I am trying to understand intercom source to iceberg s3 output. the table in glue is not considered an iceberg table - I only see a bunch of parquet files appending into the bbucket path itself. Any idea on what is happening?

Based on the knowledge sources, this sounds like a known issue with the S3 Data Lake connector when using the AWS Glue catalog. Here are the most likely causes: 1. Existing Non-Iceberg Glue Table The most common cause of this error is that a Glue table already exists at that location but was not created as an Iceberg table. The docs explicitly warn about this: > If you have an existing Glue table, and you want to replace that table with an Airbyte-managed Iceberg table, drop the Glue table. If you don't, you'll encounter the error

Input Glue table is not an iceberg table: <your table name>

. Fix: Drop the existing Glue table. Note that dropping tables from the console may not immediately delete them — you may need to use the AWS API to drop all table versions and wait for background processing to complete. [S3 Data Lake Setup] 2. Missing Glue Permissions If the IAM policy attached to your Airbyte user/role doesn't include the required Glue permissions, the connector may fall back to writing raw Parquet files without properly registering the Iceberg table metadata in Glue. Make sure your S3 policy includes all the required Glue actions, such as

glue:CreateTable

,

glue:GetTable

,

glue:UpdateTable

, etc. [S3 Data Lake Setup] 3. AWS Lake Formation (if applicable) If you're using AWS Lake Formation, you must also grant: •

Data location_access

on the S3 path •

Create database

on the catalog (if you want Airbyte to create databases) •

Create table, Describe

on specific databases (if managing databases manually) [S3 Data Lake Setup] Recommended Steps 1. Drop the existing Glue table (and verify it's fully deleted via the AWS API). 2. Verify your IAM policy includes all required Glue permissions. 3. Set the warehouse location to

s3://<bucket name>/path/within/bucket

. 4. Re-run the sync — Airbyte should now create a proper Iceberg table in Glue. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
