How to direct DLT target table to a Unity Catalog Metastore

Question

This question is pretty straightforward. Seems like in DLT, you can define the output table name like below:

@dlt.table(name="my_table_name")
def my_pipeline():
  ...

This writes to the hive_metastore catalog, but how do I customize it for a different catalog?

As of right now (august 2022), DLT doesn't support Unity Catalog yet. It should be available in the near future.
