glue: glue connections to be assigned to glue tables #24741
Description
Describe the feature
When creating a table, you are able to add an additional parameter to the Table properties called connectionName which will allow developers to assign a Glue Data Connection to the Connection property.
There should be a field to allow you to directly manipulate the connectionName property. In addition, there could potentially be a need to allow direct access of the location property, as crawlers tend to change the location property, if crawling a third party database.
Use Case
Databases that contain structured data, that may never change (or change very rarely) would not need the use of a crawler to update the schema. This could be good in reducing cost of the end user.
In addition, when running glue jobs, developers can directly use the table, as this will also contain the connection needed.
Proposed Solution
- Add a
connectionproperty that could potentially take an existing glue connection, or it's associating connection name. - Allow dynamic changing of the
locationname, if the glue data source does not reside in S3. This could either be a separate feature request, or could be included here.
