Multiple metastores in Unity Catalog

[Phani1]

Hi All,

Can we have more than one meta store in a region in Unity Catalog? Having a single meta store per region helps keep metadata management organized, but customers are asking for multiple meta stores for different needs. Is it possible to have several meta stores?

Regards,

Phani

When attempting to create multiple metastores in a specific region, you may encounter the following error:

This region already contains a metastore. Only a single metastore per region is allowed.

Databricks recommends having only one metastore per region.
