    Streaming jobs must have timeout values less than 7 days or 10080 minutes. When the value is left blank, the job will be restarted after 7 days based if you have not setup a maintenance window. If you have setup maintenance window, it will be restarted during the maintenance window after 7 days.

  • MaxCapacity – Number (double).

    For Glue version 1.0 or earlier jobs, using the standard worker type, the number of Amazon Glue data processing units (DPUs) that can be allocated when this job runs. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the Amazon Glue pricing page.

    For Glue version 2.0 or later jobs, you cannot specify a Maximum capacity. Instead, you should specify a Worker type and the Number of workers.

    Do not set MaxCapacity if using WorkerType and NumberOfWorkers.

    The value that can be allocated for MaxCapacity depends on whether you are running a Python shell job, an Apache Spark ETL job, or an Apache Spark streaming ETL job:

    • When you specify a Python shell job (JobCommand.Name="pythonshell"), you can allocate either 0.0625 or 1 DPU. The default is 0.0625 DPU.

    • When you specify an Apache Spark ETL job (JobCommand.Name="glueetl") or Apache Spark streaming ETL job (JobCommand.Name="gluestreaming"), you can allocate from 2 to 100 DPUs. The default is 10 DPUs. This job type cannot have a fractional DPU allocation.

  • WorkerType – UTF-8 string (valid values: Standard="" | G.1X="" | G.2X="" | G.025X="" | G.4X="" | G.8X="" | Z.2X="").

    The type of predefined worker that is allocated when a job runs. Accepts a value of G.1X, G.2X, G.4X, G.8X or G.025X for Spark jobs. Accepts the value Z.2X for Ray jobs.

    • For the G.1X worker type, each worker maps to 1 DPU (4 vCPUs, 16 GB of memory) with 94GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for workloads such as data transforms, joins, and queries, to offers a scalable and cost effective way to run most jobs.

    • For the G.2X worker type, each worker maps to 2 DPU (8 vCPUs, 32 GB of memory) with 138GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for workloads such as data transforms, joins, and queries, to offers a scalable and cost effective way to run most jobs.

    • For the G.4X worker type, each worker maps to 4 DPU (16 vCPUs, 64 GB of memory) with 256GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for jobs whose workloads contain your most demanding transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries. This worker type is available only for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later Spark ETL jobs in the following Amazon Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm).

    • For the G.8X worker type, each worker maps to 8 DPU (32 vCPUs, 128 GB of memory) with 512GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for jobs whose workloads contain your most demanding transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries. This worker type is available only for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later Spark ETL jobs, in the same Amazon Regions as supported for the G.4X worker type.

    • For the G.025X worker type, each worker maps to 0.25 DPU (2 vCPUs, 4 GB of memory) with 84GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for low volume streaming jobs. This worker type is only available for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later streaming jobs.

    • For the Z.2X worker type, each worker maps to 2 M-DPU (8vCPUs, 64 GB of memory) with 128 GB disk, and provides up to 8 Ray workers based on the autoscaler.

  • NumberOfWorkers – Number (integer).

    The number of workers of a defined workerType that are allocated when a job runs.

  • Running – Boolean.

    This field is reserved for future use.

  • GlueVersion – UTF-8 string, not less than 1 or more than 255 bytes long, matching the Custom string pattern #47.

    In Spark jobs, GlueVersion determines the versions of Apache Spark and Python that Amazon Glue available in a job. The Python version indicates the version supported for jobs of type Spark.

    Ray jobs should set GlueVersion to 4.0 or greater. However, the versions of Ray, Python and additional libraries available in your Ray job are determined by the Runtime parameter of the Job command.

    For more information about the available Amazon Glue versions and corresponding Spark and Python versions, see Glue version in the developer guide.

    Jobs that are created without specifying a Glue version default to Glue 0.9.

  • CodeGenConfigurationNodes – A map array of key-value pairs.

  • ExecutionClass – UTF-8 string, not more than 16 bytes long (valid values: FLEX="" | STANDARD="").

    Indicates whether the job is run with a standard or flexible execution class. The standard execution class is ideal for time-sensitive workloads that require fast job startup and dedicated resources.

    The flexible execution class is appropriate for time-insensitive jobs whose start and completion times may vary.

    Only jobs with Amazon Glue version 3.0 and above and command type glueetl will be allowed to set ExecutionClass to FLEX. The flexible execution class is available for Spark jobs.

    The tags to use with this job. You may use tags to limit access to the job. For more information about tags in Amazon Glue, see Amazon Tags in Amazon Glue in the developer guide.

  • NotificationProperty – A NotificationProperty object.

    Specifies configuration properties of a job notification.

  • GlueVersion – UTF-8 string, not less than 1 or more than 255 bytes long, matching the Custom string pattern #47.

    In Spark jobs, GlueVersion determines the versions of Apache Spark and Python that Amazon Glue available in a job. The Python version indicates the version supported for jobs of type Spark.

    Ray jobs should set GlueVersion to 4.0 or greater. However, the versions of Ray, Python and additional libraries available in your Ray job are determined by the Runtime parameter of the Job command.

    For more information about the available Amazon Glue versions and corresponding Spark and Python versions, see Glue version in the developer guide.

    Jobs that are created without specifying a Glue version default to Glue 0.9.

  • NumberOfWorkers – Number (integer).

    The number of workers of a defined workerType that are allocated when a job runs.

  • WorkerType – UTF-8 string (valid values: Standard="" | G.1X="" | G.2X="" | G.025X="" | G.4X="" | G.8X="" | Z.2X="").

    The type of predefined worker that is allocated when a job runs. Accepts a value of G.1X, G.2X, G.4X, G.8X or G.025X for Spark jobs. Accepts the value Z.2X for Ray jobs.

    • For the G.1X worker type, each worker maps to 1 DPU (4 vCPUs, 16 GB of memory) with 94GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for workloads such as data transforms, joins, and queries, to offers a scalable and cost effective way to run most jobs.

    • For the G.2X worker type, each worker maps to 2 DPU (8 vCPUs, 32 GB of memory) with 138GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for workloads such as data transforms, joins, and queries, to offers a scalable and cost effective way to run most jobs.

    • For the G.4X worker type, each worker maps to 4 DPU (16 vCPUs, 64 GB of memory) with 256GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for jobs whose workloads contain your most demanding transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries. This worker type is available only for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later Spark ETL jobs in the following Amazon Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm).

    • For the G.8X worker type, each worker maps to 8 DPU (32 vCPUs, 128 GB of memory) with 512GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for jobs whose workloads contain your most demanding transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries. This worker type is available only for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later Spark ETL jobs, in the same Amazon Regions as supported for the G.4X worker type.

    • For the G.025X worker type, each worker maps to 0.25 DPU (2 vCPUs, 4 GB of memory) with 84GB disk, and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for low volume streaming jobs. This worker type is only available for Amazon Glue version 3.0 or later streaming jobs.

    • For the Z.2X worker type, each worker maps to 2 M-DPU (8vCPUs, 64 GB of memory) with 128 GB disk, and provides up to 8 Ray workers based on the autoscaler.

  • CodeGenConfigurationNodes – A map array of key-value pairs.

    Each key is a UTF-8 string, matching the Custom string pattern #58.

    Each value is a A CodeGenConfigurationNode object.

    The representation of a directed acyclic graph on which both the Glue Studio visual component and Glue Studio code generation is based.

  • ExecutionClass – UTF-8 string, not more than 16 bytes long (valid values: FLEX="" | STANDARD="").

    Indicates whether the job is run with a standard or flexible execution class. The standard execution-class is ideal for time-sensitive workloads that require fast job startup and dedicated resources.

    The flexible execution class is appropriate for time-insensitive jobs whose start and completion times may vary.

    Only jobs with Amazon Glue version 3.0 and above and command type glueetl will be allowed to set ExecutionClass to FLEX. The flexible execution class is available for Spark jobs.

  • SourceControlDetails – A SourceControlDetails object.

    The details for a source control configuration for a job, allowing synchronization of job artifacts to or from a remote repository.

  • MaintenanceWindow – UTF-8 string, matching the Custom string pattern #34.

    This field specifies a day of the week and hour for a maintenance window for streaming jobs. Amazon Glue periodically performs maintenance activities. During these maintenance windows, Amazon Glue will need to restart your streaming jobs.

    Amazon Glue will restart the job within 3 hours of the specified maintenance window. For instance, if you set up the maintenance window for Monday at 10:00AM GMT, your jobs will be restarted between 10:00AM GMT to 1:00PM GMT.
