Create Athena Iceberg Table through Terraform.

Question

I am using below terraform script to create Athena Iceberg table, 
resource "aws_glue_catalog_table" "athena_threshold_table" {
  name     = "my_config_table"
  database_name = aws_athena_database.db.name
  description = "Athena Iceberg table holds the information about configuration"
  parameters = {
    "classification" = "parquet",
    "vacuum_max_snapshot_age_seconds" = "604800",
    "table_type" = "iceberg",
    "optimize_rewrite_delete_file_threshold" = "10",
    "write_target_data_file_size_bytes" = "536870912",
    "vacuum_min_snapshots_to_keep" = "1"
  }
  storage_descriptor {
    location = "s3://my_s3_bucket/recon/athena/config_table/"
    input_format     = "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetInputFormat"
    output_format    = "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetOutputFormat"
    ser_de_info {
      name                  = "my_config_table"
      serialization_library = "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe"
    }
  columns {
    name = "entityname"
    type = "string"
  }
  columns {
    name = "fromsystem"
    type = "string"
  }
 }
}

for the above terraform error i am getting below error :
GENERIC_USER_ERROR: Detected Iceberg type table without metadata location. Please make sure an Iceberg-enabled compute engine such as Athena or EMR Spark is used to create the table, or the table is created by using the Iceberg open source AWS library iceberg-aws. Setting table_type parameter in Glue metastore to create an Iceberg table is not supported.

I need to create Athena iceberg table using terraform script, Kindly help me to resolve the error.
