Implements IConstruct, IDependable, IResource, IEnvironmentAware, ICatalog, ICatalogRef

A Glue Data Catalog.

Use Catalog.forAccount(scope) to obtain the implicit account-wide catalog, Catalog.encryptAccount(scope, options) to configure its Data Catalog encryption, or new Catalog(...) to create an AWS::Glue::Catalog resource.

Example

declare const key: kms.Key;
glue.Catalog.encryptAccount(this, {
  encryptionAtRest: glue.DataCatalogEncryptionAtRest.kms(key),
});

Initializer

new Catalog(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CatalogProps)

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• props CatalogProps

---

catalogArn🔹

Type: string

The ARN of the catalog.

---

catalogId🔹

Type: string

The id of the catalog (for the account-wide catalog, the AWS account id).

---

catalogRef🔹

Type: CatalogReference

A reference to a Catalog resource.

---

env🔹

Type: ResourceEnvironment

The environment this resource belongs to.

For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.

For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be different than the stack they were imported into.

---

node🔹

Type: Node

The tree node.

---

stack🔹

Type: Stack

The stack in which this resource is defined.

---

connectionPasswordKey?🔹

Type: IKeyRef (optional)

The customer-managed KMS key used to encrypt connection passwords, if one was configured.

Undefined when password encryption uses an AWS-managed key or is not configured. Grant access to it via KeyGrants, e.g. if (catalog.connectionPasswordKey) { KeyGrants.fromKey(catalog.connectionPasswordKey).encrypt(grantee); }.

---

encryptionKey?🔹

Type: IKeyRef (optional)

The customer-managed KMS key used for the catalog's encryption at rest, if one was configured.

Undefined when encryption is disabled or an AWS-managed key is used. Grant access to it via KeyGrants, e.g. if (catalog.encryptionKey) { KeyGrants.fromKey(catalog.encryptionKey).encrypt(grantee); }.

---

static PROPERTY_INJECTION_ID🔹

Type: string

Uniquely identifies this class.

Methods

Name	Description
applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength)🔹	Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy)🔹	Apply the given removal policy to this resource.
toString()🔹	Returns a string representation of this construct.
with(...mixins)🔹	Applies one or more mixins to this construct.
static encryptAccount(scope, options)🔹	Configure Data Catalog encryption for the implicit, account-wide catalog and return it.
static forAccount(scope)🔹	Obtain the implicit, account-wide Data Catalog.
static fromCatalogArn(scope, id, catalogArn)🔹	Import an existing catalog by its ARN.
static fromCatalogId(scope, id, catalogId)🔹	Import an existing catalog by its id.

---

applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength)🔹

public applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): void

Parameters

• strength ReferenceStrength — - The reference strength to use for this resource.

Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.

When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified mechanism instead of the global default determined by the @aws-cdk/core:defaultCrossStackReferences context key. This is useful for selectively weakening specific references to avoid the "deadly embrace" problem without changing the app-wide default.

---

applyRemovalPolicy(policy)🔹

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): void

Parameters

• policy RemovalPolicy

Apply the given removal policy to this resource.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

---

toString()🔹

public toString(): string

Returns

• string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

---

with(...mixins)🔹

public with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstruct

Parameters

• mixins IMixin

Returns

• IConstruct

Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited. Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added constructs.

---

static encryptAccount(scope, options)🔹

public static encryptAccount(scope: Construct, options: CatalogEncryptionOptions): ICatalog

Parameters

• scope Construct
• options CatalogEncryptionOptions

Returns

• ICatalog

Configure Data Catalog encryption for the implicit, account-wide catalog and return it.

The account catalog's encryption is an account/region-wide setting, managed through the singleton PutDataCatalogEncryptionSettings API. Because encryption is fixed at construction, it must be configured before the account catalog is first used in the stack: calling this after the account catalog has already been materialized (for example by Catalog.forAccount, or by a Database that uses the account catalog) throws.

Configure it in exactly one stack. Configuring it from multiple stacks in the same account and region makes those stacks overwrite one another at deploy time, and the result is order-dependent. Unlike duplicate settings within a single stack (which CloudFormation rejects), this cross-stack conflict is not caught at synthesis time, because each stack synthesizes to its own template.

---

static forAccount(scope)🔹

public static forAccount(scope: Construct): ICatalog

Parameters

• scope Construct

Returns

• ICatalog

Obtain the implicit, account-wide Data Catalog.

The account catalog is not a CloudFormation resource; it always exists. This returns a stack-scoped singleton, so repeated calls within the same stack return the same instance.

This returns the account catalog without managing its encryption. To configure Data Catalog encryption for the account, use Catalog.encryptAccount(scope, options) instead - it must be called before the account catalog is first used in the stack.

---

static fromCatalogArn(scope, id, catalogArn)🔹

public static fromCatalogArn(scope: Construct, id: string, catalogArn: string): ICatalog

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• catalogArn string

Returns

• ICatalog

Import an existing catalog by its ARN.

The ARN must be a Glue catalog ARN, either the account-wide catalog (arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account>:catalog, whose id is the account) or a named catalog (arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account>:catalog/<name>, whose id is the name).

The imported catalog is a pure identity handle and does not manage the catalog's encryption. To manage an existing catalog's Data Catalog encryption, add a CfnDataCatalogEncryptionSettings resource targeting its id.

---

static fromCatalogId(scope, id, catalogId)🔹

public static fromCatalogId(scope: Construct, id: string, catalogId: string): ICatalog

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• catalogId string

Returns

• ICatalog

Import an existing catalog by its id.

The imported catalog is a pure identity handle and does not manage the catalog's encryption. To manage an existing catalog's Data Catalog encryption, add a CfnDataCatalogEncryptionSettings resource targeting its id.
