Materialized view creation fails

Hi,

I have ran into a problem when creating materialized view.

Here's my simple query I'm trying to run:

%sql
create or replace materialized view catalog.schema.mView_test
as select * from catalog.schema.table limit 10;

I'm getting following error:

Encountered an error with Unity Catalog while setting up the pipeline on cluster xxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxx. 
Ensure that your Unity Catalog configuration is correct, and that required resources (e.g., catalog, schema) exist and are accessible. 
Also verify that the cluster has appropriate permissions to access Unity Catalog.

I'm running the query on our own SQL Warehouse, not serverless SQL warehouse. 

I have made sure the following:

  1. I have permissions to catalog and schema
  2. Browsing external location works
  3. Access connector that the storage credential is mapped to has Storage Blob Data Contributor credentials in Storage Account

My suspicion is that the culprit here is that the materialized views are backed by serverless pipeline even I'm not using serverless compute to run my notebook. Could this be the issue here? If so, how do I fix this?
