AWS Glue

2020/11/19 - AWS Glue - 20 new 14 updated api methods

Changes  Adding support for Glue Schema Registry. The AWS Glue Schema Registry is a new feature that allows you to centrally discover, control, and evolve data stream schemas.

)
type DataFormat

string

param DataFormat

[REQUIRED]

param SchemaDefinition

[REQUIRED]

The definition of the schema that has to be validated.

rtype

dict

returns

Response Syntax

UpdateSchema (new) Link ¶

Updates the description, compatibility setting, or version checkpoint for a schema set.

For updating the compatibility setting, the call will not validate compatibility for the entire set of schema versions with the new compatibility setting.

DeleteSchemaVersions (new) Link ¶

Remove versions from the specified schema. A version number or range may be supplied. If the compatibility mode forbids deleting of a version that is necessary, such as BACKWARDS_FULL, an error is returned. Calling the GetSchemaVersions API after this call will list the status of the deleted versions.

When the range of version numbers contain check pointed version, the API will return a 409 conflict and will not proceed with the deletion. You have to remove the checkpoint first using the DeleteSchemaCheckpoint API before using this API.

You cannot use the DeleteSchemaVersions API to delete the first schema version in the schema set. The first schema version can only be deleted by the DeleteSchema API. This operation will also delete the attached SchemaVersionMetadata under the schema versions. Hard deletes will be enforced on the database.

If the compatibility mode forbids deleting of a version that is necessary, such as BACKWARDS_FULL, an error is returned.

RegisterSchemaVersion (new) Link ¶

Adds a new version to the existing schema. Returns an error if new version of schema does not meet the compatibility requirements of the schema set. This API will not create a new schema set and will return a 404 error if the schema set is not already present in the Schema Registry.

If this is the first schema definition to be registered in the Schema Registry, this API will store the schema version and return immediately. Otherwise, this call has the potential to run longer than other operations due to compatibility modes. You can call the GetSchemaVersion API with the SchemaVersionId to check compatibility modes.

If the same schema definition is already stored in Schema Registry as a version, the schema ID of the existing schema is returned to the caller.

CreateSchema (new) Link ¶

Creates a new schema set and registers the schema definition. Returns an error if the schema set already exists without actually registering the version.

When the schema set is created, a version checkpoint will be set to the first version. Compatibility mode "DISABLED" restricts any additional schema versions from being added after the first schema version. For all other compatibility modes, validation of compatibility settings will be applied only from the second version onwards when the RegisterSchemaVersion API is used.

When this API is called without a RegistryId , this will create an entry for a "default-registry" in the registry database tables, if it is not already present.

    Arn of the registry to be updated. One of RegistryArn or RegistryName has to be provided.

type SchemaName

string

param SchemaName

[REQUIRED]

Name of the schema to be created of max length of 255, and may only contain letters, numbers, hyphen, underscore, dollar sign, or hash mark. No whitespace.

type DataFormat

string

param DataFormat

[REQUIRED]

The data format of the schema definition. Currently only AVRO is supported.

type Compatibility

string

param Compatibility

The compatibility mode of the schema. The possible values are:

  • NONE : No compatibility mode applies. You can use this choice in development scenarios or if you do not know the compatibility mode that you want to apply to schemas. Any new version added will be accepted without undergoing a compatibility check.

  • DISABLED : This compatibility choice prevents versioning for a particular schema. You can use this choice to prevent future versioning of a schema.

  • BACKWARD : This compatibility choice is recommended as it allows data receivers to read both the current and one previous schema version. This means that for instance, a new schema version cannot drop data fields or change the type of these fields, so they can't be read by readers using the previous version.

  • BACKWARD_ALL : This compatibility choice allows data receivers to read both the current and all previous schema versions. You can use this choice when you need to delete fields or add optional fields, and check compatibility against all previous schema versions.

  • FORWARD : This compatibility choice allows data receivers to read both the current and one next schema version, but not necessarily later versions. You can use this choice when you need to add fields or delete optional fields, but only check compatibility against the last schema version.

  • FORWARD_ALL : This compatibility choice allows data receivers to read written by producers of any new registered schema. You can use this choice when you need to add fields or delete optional fields, and check compatibility against all previous schema versions.

  • FULL : This compatibility choice allows data receivers to read data written by producers using the previous or next version of the schema, but not necessarily earlier or later versions. You can use this choice when you need to add or remove optional fields, but only check compatibility against the last schema version.

  • FULL_ALL : This compatibility choice allows data receivers to read data written by producers using all previous schema versions. You can use this choice when you need to add or remove optional fields, and check compatibility against all previous schema versions.

type Description

string

param Description

An optional description of the schema. If description is not provided, there will not be any automatic default value for this.

type CatalogId

string

param CatalogId

The ID of the Data Catalog where the partitions in question reside. If none is provided, the AWS account ID is used by default.

type DatabaseName

string

param DatabaseName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the catalog database where the partitions reside.

type TableName

string

param TableName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the partitions' table.

type Expression

string

param Expression

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.

Sample API Call :

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

A continuation token, if this is not the first call to retrieve these partitions.

type Segment

dict

param Segment

The segment of the table's partitions to scan in this request.

  • SegmentNumber (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

    The zero-based index number of the segment. For example, if the total number of segments is 4, SegmentNumber values range from 0 through 3.

  • TotalSegments (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

    The total number of segments.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of partitions to return in a single response.

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.

type CatalogId

string

param CatalogId

A unique identifier, consisting of account_id .

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

A continuation token, included if this is a continuation call.

type Filters

list

param Filters

A list of key-value pairs, and a comparator used to filter the search results. Returns all entities matching the predicate.

The Comparator member of the PropertyPredicate struct is used only for time fields, and can be omitted for other field types. Also, when comparing string values, such as when Key=Name , a fuzzy match algorithm is used. The Key field (for example, the value of the Name field) is split on certain punctuation characters, for example, -, :, #, etc. into tokens. Then each token is exact-match compared with the Value member of PropertyPredicate . For example, if Key=Name and Value=link , tables named customer-link and xx-link-yy are returned, but xxlinkyy is not returned.

  • (dict) --

    Defines a property predicate.

    • Key (string) --

      The key of the property.

    • Value (string) --

      The value of the property.

    • Comparator (string) --

      The comparator used to compare this property to others.

type SearchText

string

param SearchText

A string used for a text search.

Specifying a value in quotes filters based on an exact match to the value.

type SortCriteria

list

param SortCriteria

A list of criteria for sorting the results by a field name, in an ascending or descending order.

  • (dict) --

    Specifies a field to sort by and a sort order.

    • FieldName (string) --

      The name of the field on which to sort.

    • Sort (string) --

      An ascending or descending sort.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of tables to return in a single response.

type ResourceShareType

string

param ResourceShareType

Allows you to specify that you want to search the tables shared with your account. The allowable values are FOREIGN or ALL .

  • If set to FOREIGN , will search the tables shared with your account.

  • If set to ALL , will search the tables shared with your account, as well as the tables in yor local account.
