Destination Improvement: Allow setting BigLake MetaStore properties via the create destination endpoint for Managed Data Lake destinations

Answered
Robert Cooper User

Hi, we are currently implementing a feature in our app where users can create Fivetran destinations that will all be managed data lakes. These destinations need to allow configuring the Big Lake Metastore settings. So that includes being able to enable Big Lake Metastore, as well as passing in the project ID and any other Big Lake Metastore related configuration that's needed.

Currently this can only be done via the UI which is not feasible for our use case since it's all programmatic application code creating these destinations in Fivetran.

Here's the REST endpoint docs for reference: https://fivetran.com/docs/rest-api/api-reference/destinations/create-destination?service=managed_data_lake
