AWS Glue Catalog

​

Connect to AWS Glue

1. Open your workspace and go to the Catalogs section in the sidebar, then click Create Catalog.
2. Give the catalog a name and select AWS Glue as the catalog type.
3. Select the cloud resource if you created a Serverless workspace.
4. Select the AWS region your Glue metastore is in.
5. When asked whether the Glue metastore and S3 data source are in the same AWS account as the e6data workspace:
   • If yes, select Yes and continue.
   • If not, select No and configure cross-account access, providing the requested details of the target catalog.
6. Click Validate. This tests connectivity and discovers the Glue databases in the selected region.
7. Choose the Glue databases/schemas you want to query. You can change this selection later.
8. To enable automatic catalog updates, toggle on auto-refresh and set the desired interval; otherwise continue.
9. When the settings are correct, click Create.
10. You’re redirected to the catalog list. Once creation succeeds, the catalog status changes to ACTIVE. If creation fails, hover over the status bar to see the error - see Catalog errors.
