S3 tables catalog integration limitations

You can integrate Amazon S3 table buckets and tables with Amazon Glue Data Catalog (Data Catalog), and register the catalog as a Lake Formation data location from the Lake Formation console or using service APIs.

The following limitations apply to integrating S3 tables catalog with Data Catalog and Lake Formation:

  • The LF-Tag Based Access Control (LF-TBAC) method for granting permissions is not supported for catalogs, databases, tables that have S3 Tables as their storage location.

  • Amazon Glue and Lake Formation don't support mixed-case column names, and convert all column names to lowercase. You must verify that table column names are unique when converted to lowercase. Use customer_id instead of customerId. The use of mixed-case column names was supported only during the preview release.

  • The CreateCatalog API cannot create table buckets in Amazon S3.

  • The SearchTables API cannot search S3 tables.
