(glue): Missing parameter *parameters* from class Table (construct)

[braidenjudd]

Add cfn-glue-table-tableinput-parameters to the Glue Table Construct

Use Case

I want to be able to set parameters at create time of the table to make the table compatible with a crawler I am using.

Proposed Solution

Optional props parameters to TableProps and append them here Table

I ran into this limitation yesterday and it took me a while to figure out a work-around. Could you please reconsider adding this?

If you come here and wonder how to solve this, you can "hack" around it by using the CDK escape hatch into Cfn types like so (example is in java):

var glueTable = Table.Builder.create(this, "glueTable")[...].build();
CfnTable cfnTable = (CfnTable) glueTable.getNode().getDefaultChild();
cfnTable.addPropertyOverride("TableInput.StorageDescriptor.SerdeInfo.Parameters.serialization\\.format", 1);

This is a possible solution in TS

(<CfnTable>table.node.defaultChild).addPropertyOverride(
    'TableInput.StorageDescriptor.SerdeInfo.Parameters.serialization\\.format',
    1
);

@mattiamatrix @fs111 thanks for the workaround, it was useful! I needed to add useGlueParquetWriter=true to the Parameters section:

(<CfnTable>table.node.defaultChild).addPropertyOverride(
      "TableInput.Parameters.useGlueParquetWriter",
      "true"
);
