Lance Gravitino Namespace

Apache Gravitino is a high-performance, geo-distributed, and federated metadata lake. It manages metadata directly in different sources, types, and regions, providing unified metadata access for data and AI assets.

Using Gravitino with Lance

Gravitino provides multiple ways to integrate with Lance, allowing you to choose the best option based on your use case.

Option 1: Native Lance REST Support

Starting from version 1.1.0, Apache Gravitino provides native integration with the Lance REST Namespace. This allows you to use Gravitino as a Lance namespace server directly, with full support for Lance tables.

For details on configuring Gravitino as a Lance REST namespace server, see the Gravitino Lance REST Service Documentation.

Option 2: Hive MetaStore

For users who primarily use Gravitino for its Hive MetaStore-related capabilities, Gravitino provides a Hive MetaStore-compatible endpoint through its Apache Hive Catalog.

Configure your Lance Hive namespace to connect to Gravitino's Hive MetaStore endpoint. All the features and configurations of the Lance Hive Namespace (V2 or V3) apply when using Gravitino's Hive catalog.
