Creating a Catalog

The following Object Storage providers can be configured as storage backends for your Polaris catalog:

S3 compatible object stores
Google Cloud Storage
Azure Blob Storage
Local file system (By default for testing only)

Catalogs may also be created from migrating existing Iceberg catalogs.
