Is there any way to connect polaris catalog from unity catalog?

Hi databricks community, I'd like to access data managed by polaris catalog through unity catalog to manage all data one place. But is there any way to connect? (I could access the data with all-purpose cluster without unity catalog.)

Hey @chandu402240 , we're looking at a very similar problem. Wondering if you were able to access the Polaris catalog from a Databricks cluster? Was the External Location documentation linked by @Alberto_Umana relevant?

Thanks, @Isi. Very helpful. It would be nice if Lakehouse federation would do this for us (the same way that it knows SQL Server uses ISNULL where Spark SQl uses NVL). Is there a way to bring it the dev's attention?
