Data Catalog tables as sources

Question

I am trying to create a Crawler to scan S3 bucket Parquet files and update partition information of an existing table in Glue Data Catalog.

Here is the exact feature I am talking. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/05/aws-glue-crawlers-now-support-existing-data-catalog-tables-as-sources/

Certainly working from console, however, I am not finding the option to provide Table name from DataCatalog when creating AWS::Glue::Crawler using cloudformation. Is this a feature that is not added to cloudformation or I can't find it in documentation.

Are there any alternatives ?

Answer 1

It takes folder name in s3 bucket as table name. You can add prefix by using TablePrefix. But at this stage, there is no way to specify table name explicitly.
