Does AWS Glue Scheme Registry support being used as Flink SQL Catalog?

Question

Does AWS Schema Registry support being used as an SQL Catalog within Flink SQLK applications? For instance, the documentation shows an example of using a Hive Catalog:

CREATE CATALOG hive WITH (
'type'='hive',
'property-version'='1',
'hive-version'='2.3.6',
'hive-conf-dir'='/opt/hive-conf'
);

The tables defined within that Catalog can then be used within applications without the need for a CREATE TABLE statement, e.g. I can then do this:

SELECT * FROM hive.`default`.my_table

What I'd like to do is something like:

CREATE CATALOG awsglue WITH (
...  some config here
);

Is this supported and are there any examples or documentation showing its use?

I think what you're looking for is something like this:

CREATE CATALOG some_catalog WITH (
    'type'='iceberg',
    'warehouse'='s3://your_bucket/iceberg-test',
    'catalog-impl'='org.apache.iceberg.aws.glue.GlueCatalog',
    'io-impl'='org.apache.iceberg.aws.s3.S3FileIO')
