It works on Parquet tables registered in the AWS Glue Data Catalog and keeps production workloads running during migration. S3 Tables handles data validation, compatibility checks, type conversion, file recompression, and compaction, and generates a compatibility report before copying data. You pay only for data copied, with no charge for the Hive-to-Iceberg conversion itself. It is available now in regions including US East, US West, several Asia Pacific regions, and parts of Europe, and supports Glue-registered Hive tables in Parquet format within the same account and region. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I migrate Apache Hive tables to Apache Iceberg on AWS without building a custom pipeline? Amazon S3 Tables now offers a managed migration for AWS Glue-registered Hive tables stored in Parquet format. It handles data validation, compatibility checks, type conversions, file recompression, and compaction automatically. You can sync changes repeatedly without stopping writes to the source table, then complete the cutover, which only requires a few minutes of downtime. _daily.dev surfaces launches like this for engineers planning a Hive-to-Iceberg data lake migration._ ### What regions support Amazon S3 Tables managed migration from Hive to Iceberg? It is available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), and Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, Stockholm). At launch it only supports AWS Glue-registered Hive tables stored in Parquet format within the same AWS account and AWS Region. _Teams scoping a migration timeline can track regional AWS rollouts like this on daily.dev._ ### How is Amazon S3 Tables managed migration priced compared to a self-managed Hive-to-Iceberg conversion? You pay only for the data copied during migration, with no separate charge for the Hive-to-Iceberg conversion itself. Source objects already in S3 Intelligent-Tiering keep their current access tier, avoiding extra storage cost shifts during the move. _Budgeting a data lake modernization project is easier when cost details like these surface on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Amazon S3 Tables now support all Apache Iceberg V3 data types](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-s3-tables-now-support-all-apache-iceberg-v3-data-types-nkjnu2oqj) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Apache Iceberg on AWS: Glue Catalog, Athena, EMR, and S3 Tables](https://daily.dev/posts/apache-iceberg-on-aws-glue-catalog-athena-emr-and-s3-tables-qgxux89im) · BigData Boutique blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Amazon S3 Tables now support the Variant data type for Apache Iceberg V3](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-s3-tables-now-support-the-variant-data-type-for-apache-iceberg-v3-a7ltmew4l) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Apache Iceberg on AWS, Part 1: What It Is, Why You Need It, and How It Works](https://daily.dev/posts/apache-iceberg-on-aws-part-1-what-it-is-why-you-need-it-and-how-it-works-fqcctfmbr) · Infostrux · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#aws](https://daily.dev/tags/aws), [#aws-s3](https://daily.dev/tags/aws-s3), [#apache-iceberg](https://daily.dev/tags/apache-iceberg) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-s3-tables-now-offer-managed-migration-of-apache-hive-tables-to-apache-iceberg-ebb9mqf2g) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Amazon S3 Tables now offer managed migration of Apache Hive tables to Apache Iceberg","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-s3-tables-now-offer-managed-migration-of-apache-hive-tables-to-apache-iceberg-ebb9mqf2g","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-s3-tables-now-offer-managed-migration-of-apache-hive-tables-to-apache-iceberg-ebb9mqf2g"},"datePublished":"2026-11-05T01:20:23.257Z","dateModified":"2026-11-05T01:23:05.686Z","description":"Amazon S3 Tables can now migrate Apache Hive tables to Apache Iceberg as a managed operation, with no pipelines to build or compute to provision.
