Is it possible to set "Use Glue data catalog as the Hive metastore" to true via CDK?

[jvmunhoz]

We have some Glue Jobs that need to have that setting checked to work properly. I've checked the documentation and couldn't find anything related to Hive metastore in there. Without that we have to go manually into the AWS console and check that option manually after each deploy, which kinda goes against the whole IaC thing.

Is it in there and I'm just blind? Would be a nice feature request if not.

Cheers!

I'm running into the same issue, somehow cdk use the L2 construct, so plain cloudformation template in this case, and this feature seems missing totally

After some digging I found solution, the key is to use defaultArguments:

defaultArguments: {
        "--enable-auto-scaling": true,
        "--enable-continuous-cloudwatch-log": true,
        "--enable-glue-datacatalog": true,
        "--datalake-formats": "iceberg"
      }

@jvmunhoz specifically what you are looking is "--enable-glue-datacatalog": true,
