* Write Restriction: The official usage notes explicitly state that you cannot use Paimon catalogs to drop, delete, or insert data into your Paimon cluster.
* Other Formats: StarRocks does support sinking data (using INSERT INTO) to Iceberg (Parquet format) and Hive (Text, ORC, and Parquet formats).
While Paimon write support is a frequently requested feature and the integration is being actively enhanced (for example, StarRocks recently upgraded to Paimon 1.0.1 and added support for Paimon DELETE vectors), a specific release date for Paimon Sink has not been officially announced in the current stable release notes.
I recommend keeping an eye on the StarRocks Release Notes or the community roadmap on GitHub for updates regarding this feature!
