# Using Databricks (Cloud Storage) as a target

This section describes how to set up and use Databricks (Cloud Storage) as the target endpoint in a replication task.

Information note

Hive can be configured to use the AWS Glue Data Catalog as its metastore or its own metastore. The metastore that will be used depends on your Databricks on AWS Cluster configuration and requires no special configuration from a Replicate perspective.
