I am going to create a Metasore following the documentation.

Regarding the storage account, I don't understand if it should be in the same region as Metastore.

From documentation:

You can create no more than one metastore per region. It is recommended that you use the same region for your metastore and storage container.

Is it a recommendation or a must?

Another part of the documentation:

Thanks.

But the question is about the region for Storage Account & Metastore.
