DeltaTargets -> (list)

Specifies Delta data store targets.

(structure)

Specifies a Delta data store to crawl one or more Delta tables.

DeltaTables -> (list)

A list of the Amazon S3 paths to the Delta tables.

(string)

ConnectionName -> (string)

The name of the connection to use to connect to the Delta table target.

WriteManifest -> (boolean)

Specifies whether to write the manifest files to the Delta table path.

--classifiers (list)

A list of custom classifiers that the user has registered. By default, all built-in classifiers are included in a crawl, but these custom classifiers always override the default classifiers for a given classification.

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--table-prefix (string)

The table prefix used for catalog tables that are created.

--schema-change-policy (structure)

RecrawlBehavior -> (string)

Specifies whether to crawl the entire dataset again or to crawl only folders that were added since the last crawler run.

A value of CRAWL_EVERYTHING specifies crawling the entire dataset again.

A value of CRAWL_NEW_FOLDERS_ONLY specifies crawling only folders that were added since the last crawler run.

A value of CRAWL_EVENT_MODE specifies crawling only the changes identified by Amazon S3 events.

--lineage-configuration (structure)

Specifies data lineage configuration settings for the crawler.

Specifies Lake Formation configuration settings for the crawler.

UseLakeFormationCredentials -> (boolean)

Specifies whether to use Lake Formation credentials for the crawler instead of the IAM role credentials.

UseLakeFormationCredentials=boolean,AccountId=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "UseLakeFormationCredentials": true|false,

}

--configuration (string)

Crawler configuration information. This versioned JSON string allows users to specify aspects of a crawler’s behavior. For more information, see Configuring a Crawler .

--crawler-security-configuration (string)

The name of the SecurityConfiguration structure to be used by this crawler.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
