How to use Boto3 to get the details of a classifier from AWS Glue Data catalog?
Problem Statement − Use boto3 library in Python to get details of a classifier from AWS Glue Data catalog. For example, get the details of a classifier – ‘xml-test’.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1 − Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2 − Pass the parameter classifier_name whose details are to be checked.
Step 3 − Create an AWS session using boto3 library. Make sure region_name is mentioned in default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name while creating the session.
Step 4 − Create an AWS client for glue.
Step 5 − Call get_classifier and pass the classifier_name as Name parameter.
Step 6 − It will fetch the details of the classifier.
Step 7 − Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while checking the job.
Example
Use the following code to get details of a classifier from AWS Glue Data catalog −
import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError
def get_classifier_details(classifier_name):
session = boto3.session.Session()
glue_client = session.client('glue')
try:
response = glue_client.get_classifier(Name = classifier_name)
return response
except ClientError as e:
raise Exception( "boto3 client error in get_classifier_details: " + e.__str__())
except Exception as e:
raise Exception( "Unexpected error in get_classifier_details: " + e.__str__())
print(get_classifier_details("xml-test"))Output
