# Apache Iceberg

{% hint style="info" %}
The Apache Iceberg data connector is currently in beta. To request access to the connector, contact Tonic.ai.
{% endhint %}

Apache Iceberg is an open-source table format used to support large analytic datasets.

The Apache Iceberg connector allows Tonic Structural to read Apache Iceberg tables from Amazon S3. The associated metadata is in AWS Glue.

It then generates de-identified versions of that data.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.tonic.ai/app/setting-up-your-database/apache-iceberg.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
