How to use Boto3 to paginate through table versions of a table present in AWS Glue
Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to paginate through table versions of a table from AWS Glue Data Catalog that is created in your account
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2: max_items, page_size and starting_token are the optional parameters for this function, while database_name and table_name are required.
max_items denote the total number of records to return. If the number of available records > max_items then a NextToken will be provided in the response to resume pagination.
page_size denotes the size of each page.
starting_token helps to paginate, and it uses NextToken from a previous response.
Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the 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: Create a paginator object that contains details of all table versions of a table using get_table_versions
Step 6: Call the paginate function and pass the database_name as DatabaseName, TableName as table_name, max_items, page_size and starting_token as PaginationConfig parameter
Step 7: It returns the number of records based on max_size and page_size.
Step 8: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while paginating.
Example Code
Use the following code to paginate through table versions of a table created in user account −
import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError
def paginate_through_table_versions(database_name, table_name, max_items=None:int,page_size=None:int, starting_token=None:string):
session = boto3.session.Session()
glue_client = session.client('glue')
try:
paginator = glue_client.get_paginator('get_table_versions')
response = paginator.paginate(DatabaseName=database_name, TableName=table_name, PaginationConfig={
'MaxItems':max_items,
'PageSize':page_size,
'StartingToken':starting_token}
)
return response
except ClientError as e:
raise Exception("boto3 client error in paginate_through_table_versions: " + e.__str__())
except Exception as e:
raise Exception("Unexpected error in paginate_through_table_versions: " + e.__str__())
a = paginate_through_table_versions("test_db","qa_table",2,5)
print(*a)Output
