Thanks balaji, my initial thoughts too, it however prompts for a namenode uri, my namenode would be the catalog in this instance, which is HDFS based but on ADLS.
No, creating Iceberg tables using Spark running on AKS, which i am tracking using a Catalog, 2 options for creating Iceberg catalogs exist, one is using a Hive Metastore, and the other is HDFS directory based, in this case ADLS being HDFS compatible, i took the HDFS option.
