[REQUIRED]
The name of the partitions' table.
string
An expression that filters the partitions to be returned.
The expression uses SQL syntax similar to the SQL WHERE filter clause. The SQL statement parser JSQLParser parses the expression.
Operators: The following are the operators that you can use in the Expression API call:
=
Checks whether the values of the two operands are equal; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: Assume 'variable a' holds 10 and 'variable b' holds 20.
(a = b) is not true.
< >
Checks whether the values of two operands are equal; if the values are not equal, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a < > b) is true.
>
Checks whether the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a > b) is not true.
<
Checks whether the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a < b) is true.
>=
Checks whether the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a >= b) is not true.
<=
Checks whether the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a <= b) is true.
AND, OR, IN, BETWEEN, LIKE, NOT, IS NULL
Logical operators.
Supported Partition Key Types: The following are the supported partition keys.
string
date
timestamp
int
bigint
long
tinyint
smallint
decimal
If an invalid type is encountered, an exception is thrown.
The following list shows the valid operators on each type. When you define a crawler, the partitionKey type is created as a STRING, to be compatible with the catalog partitions.

Searches a set of tables based on properties in the table metadata as well as on the parent database. You can search against text or filter conditions.
You can only get tables that you have access to based on the security policies defined in Lake Formation. You need at least a read-only access to the table for it to be returned. If you do not have access to all the columns in the table, these columns will not be searched against when returning the list of tables back to you. If you have access to the columns but not the data in the columns, those columns and the associated metadata for those columns will be included in the search.
