Supported file types for data sources - Amazon Glue DataBrew
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Supported file types for data sources

The following file requirements apply to files stored in Amazon S3 and to files that you upload from a local drive. DataBrew supports the following file formats: comma-separated value (CSV), Microsoft Excel, JSON, ORC, and Parquet. You can use files with a nonstandard extension or no extension if the file is of one of the supported types.

If DataBrew is unable to infer the file type, make sure to select the correct file type yourself (CSV, Excel, JSON, ORC, or Parquet). Compressed CSV, JSON, ORC, and Parquet files are supported, but CSV and JSON files must include the compression codec as the file extension. If you are importing a folder, all files in the folder must be of the same file type.

File formats and supported compression algorithms are shown in the following table.

Note

CSV, Excel, and JSON files must be encoded with Unicode (UTF-8).
