BigQuery metastore lets you access and manage metadata from a variety of processing engines, including BigQuery and Apache Spark. BigQuery metastore supports BigQuery tables and open formats such as Apache Iceberg. This feature is in preview[1].

BigQuery Metastore is a fully managed solution designed to centralize metadata management for data analytics products on Google Cloud. It serves as a single source of truth, integrating metadata from various sources. Accessible from BigQuery and compatible with multiple open-source data processing engines, it is an invaluable tool for data analysts and engineers. For instance, BigQuery Metastore can function as the catalog for open-source query engines like Apache Spark.
