Starburst Enterprise Platform Support Clarification Regarding Trino Community Connectors

Starburst has clarified its position regarding the support of Trino Community Connectors within the Starburst Enterprise Platform, stating that these connectors, although included in the platform's distribution, are not formally supported by Starburst but instead by the Trino community. While these connectors, such as Accumulo, Cassandra, and Elasticsearch, remain accessible, their inclusion comes without the testing or enhancements typically provided by Starburst, and the company reserves the right to remove any that pose stability or security risks. However, Starburst recognizes the importance of some Community Connectors to users and has established a process for promoting specific connectors to fully supported status, which involves thorough testing and collaboration with the company's Engineering, Product, and Support teams. Users interested in obtaining formal support for a particular Community Connector are encouraged to contact their Starburst Technical Account Manager or Solution Architect to initiate this process.
