I am intern data engineer and have a question about catalogs and table. As i know from the docs, starrocks has 2 catalogs: Internal and external, 2 type of table internal and external table. I test on my local machine with 1 node FE and 2 node CN, use MinIO as storage engine. I run query : Show Catalogs on dbeaver, it shows Catalog is default catalog and type is Internal. So I understand everything is manage by Internal catalogs. But I have 1 case: I put random parquet file on bucket in MinIO, then create external table from it to easier query, does the Internal Catalogs as i saw before also manage new external table?

Currently DBeaver does not support showing tables from external catalog

Yes, tks a lot for give me new knowledge. However, I want to know that does the Internal Catalogs manage data in external table?

No, data is still stored inside the external tables, internal catalog only stores the metadata and cache if needed
