Parameters:

  • CatalogId (string) – The Amazon Web Services account ID of the catalog in which the partition is to be created.

  • DatabaseName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the metadata database in which the partition is to be created.

      The values for the keys for the new partition must be passed as an array of String objects that must be ordered in the same order as the partition keys appearing in the Amazon S3 prefix. Otherwise Glue will add the values to the wrong keys.

      The last time at which the partition was accessed.

    • StorageDescriptor (dict) –

      Provides information about the physical location where the partition is stored.

      • Columns (list) –

        A list of the Columns in the table.

        • (dict) –

          A column in a Table.

              • (string) –

      • Location (string) –

        The physical location of the table. By default, this takes the form of the warehouse location, followed by the database location in the warehouse, followed by the table name.

      • AdditionalLocations (list) –

        A list of locations that point to the path where a Delta table is located.

        • (string) –

      • InputFormat (string) –

        The input format: SequenceFileInputFormat (binary), or TextInputFormat, or a custom format.

      • OutputFormat (string) –

        The output format: SequenceFileOutputFormat (binary), or IgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat, or a custom format.

      • Compressed (boolean) –

        True if the data in the table is compressed, or False if not.

      • NumberOfBuckets (integer) –

        Must be specified if the table contains any dimension columns.

      • SerdeInfo (dict) –

        The serialization/deserialization (SerDe) information.

      • SortColumns (list) –

        A list specifying the sort order of each bucket in the table.

        • (dict) –
