R Documentation

Description

Creates (registers) a data catalog with the specified name and properties. Catalogs created are visible to all users of the same Amazon Web Services account.

Usage

athena_create_data_catalog(Name, Type, Description, Parameters, Tags)

Arguments

Name

[required] The name of the data catalog to create. The catalog name must be unique for the Amazon Web Services account and can use a maximum of 127 alphanumeric, underscore, at sign, or hyphen characters. The remainder of the length constraint of 256 is reserved for use by Athena.

Type

[required] The type of data catalog to create: LAMBDA for a federated catalog, HIVE for an external hive metastore, or GLUE for an Glue Data Catalog.

Description

A description of the data catalog to be created.

Parameters

Specifies the Lambda function or functions to use for creating the data catalog. This is a mapping whose values depend on the catalog type.

• For the HIVE data catalog type, use the following syntax. The ⁠metadata-function⁠ parameter is required. ⁠The sdk-version⁠ parameter is optional and defaults to the currently supported version.

  ⁠metadata-function=lambda_arn, sdk-version=version_number ⁠

• For the LAMBDA data catalog type, use one of the following sets of required parameters, but not both.

  • If you have one Lambda function that processes metadata and another for reading the actual data, use the following syntax. Both parameters are required.

    ⁠metadata-function=lambda_arn, record-function=lambda_arn ⁠

  • If you have a composite Lambda function that processes both metadata and data, use the following syntax to specify your Lambda function.

    ⁠function=lambda_arn ⁠

• The GLUE type takes a catalog ID parameter and is required. The catalog_id is the account ID of the Amazon Web Services account to which the Glue Data Catalog belongs.

  catalog-id=catalog_id

  • The GLUE data catalog type also applies to the default AwsDataCatalog that already exists in your account, of which you can have only one and cannot modify.

Tags

A list of comma separated tags to add to the data catalog that is created.

Value

An empty list.
