BigQuery metastore is a fully managed metastore for data analytics products on Google Cloud. It provides a single source of truth for managing metadata from multiple sources. The metastore is accessible from BigQuery and various open data processing engines, making it a useful tool for data analysts and engineers. For example, you can use BigQuery metastore as the catalog with open source query engines such as Apache Spark. Tables created using Spark can be queried using BigQuery without requiring you to synchronize your metadata.
