Deleting a schema or registry

Deleting a schema, a schema version, or a registry are permanent actions that cannot be undone.

Deleting a schema

You may want to delete a schema when it will no longer be used within a registry, using the AWS Management Console, or the DeleteSchema action (Python: delete_schema) API.

Deleting one or more schemas is a permanent action that cannot be undone. Make sure that the schema or schemas are no longer needed.

To delete a schema from the registry, call the DeleteSchema action (Python: delete_schema) API, specifying the SchemaId structure to identify the schema.

For example:

aws glue delete-schema --schema-id SchemaArn="arn:aws:glue:us-east-2:901234567890:schema/registryName1/schemaname"
aws glue delete-schema --schema-id SchemaName="TestSchema6-deleteschemabyname",RegistryName="default-registry"
AWS Glue console

To delete a schema from the AWS Glue console:

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Data catalog, choose Schema registries.

  3. Choose the registry that contains your schema from the the list of registries.

  4. Choose one or more schemas from the list, by checking the boxes.

  5. In the Action menu, choose Delete schema.

  6. Enter the text Delete in the field to confirm deletion.

  7. Choose Delete.

The schema(s) you specified are deleted from the registry.

Deleting a schema version

As schemas accumulate in the registry, you may want to delete unwanted schema versions using the AWS Management Console, or the DeleteSchemaVersions action (Python: delete_schema_versions) API. Deleting one or more schema versions is a permanent action that cannot be undone. Make sure that the schema versions are no longer needed.

When deleting schema versions, take note of the following constraints:

  • You cannot delete a check-pointed version.

  • The range of contiguous versions cannot be more than 25.

  • The latest schema version must not be in a pending state.

Specify the SchemaId structure to identify the schema, and specify Versions as a range of versions to delete. For more information on specifying a version or range of versions, see DeleteRegistry action (Python: delete_registry). The schema versions you specified are deleted from the registry.

Calling the ListSchemaVersions action (Python: list_schema_versions) API after this call will list the status of the deleted versions.

For example:

aws glue delete-schema-versions --schema-id SchemaName="TestSchema6",RegistryName="default-registry" --versions "1-1"
aws glue delete-schema-versions --schema-id SchemaArn="arn:aws:glue:us-east-2:901234567890:schema/default-registry/TestSchema6-NON-Existent" --versions "1-1"

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Data catalog, choose Schema registries.

  3. Choose the registry that contains your schema from the the list of registries.

  4. Choose one or more schemas from the list, by checking the boxes.

  5. In the Action menu, choose Delete schema.

  6. Enter the text Delete in the field to confirm deletion.

  7. Choose Delete.

The schema versions you specified are deleted from the registry.
