Apache Gravitino is a high-performance, geo-distributed, federated metadata lake that provides unified metadata management across diverse data sources such as Hive, MySQL, PostgreSQL, HDFS, and S3. It offers end-to-end data governance including access control, auditing, and discovery, with multi-engine support for query engines like Trino, Spark, and Flink.

Use cases

• unify metadata across hive mysql and s3 in one catalog
• federated metadata discovery across data lakes and clouds
• manage access control and auditing for all data sources
• query lakehouse tables with trino spark or flink without changing sql
• track ai models and features alongside data assets
• share metadata across regions with a geo-distributed deployment
• replace hive metastore with a modern open data catalog

When to choose

• you need a single catalog spanning multiple metadata sources, engines, and clouds
• you want direct metadata management where changes reflect immediately in underlying systems
• you need geo-distributed metadata sharing across regions or cloud providers
• you want unified governance like access control and auditing over data and AI assets

When to avoid

• you only need a simple single-source metastore for one engine
• you require a lightweight embedded catalog with no server component
• your stack is entirely non-JVM and you cannot run a Java 17 service
• you need mature AI asset management today, as it is still work in progress
