(**kwargs)¶Retrieves information about the partitions in a table.

Request Syntax
response = client.get_partitions(
CatalogId='string',
DatabaseName='string',
TableName='string',
Expression='string',
NextToken='string',
Segment={
'SegmentNumber': 123,
'TotalSegments': 123
},
MaxResults=123,
ExcludeColumnSchema=True|False,
TransactionId='string',
QueryAsOfTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1)
)
[REQUIRED]
The name of the catalog database where the partitions reside.
[REQUIRED]
The name of the partitions' table.
An expression that filters the partitions to be returned.
The expression uses SQL syntax similar to the SQL WHERE
filter clause. The SQL statement parser JSQLParser parses the expression.
Operators : The following are the operators that you can use in theExpression
API call:=
Checks whether the values of the two operands are equal; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: Assume 'variable a' holds 10 and 'variable b' holds 20.
(a = b) is not true.
< >
Checks whether the values of two operands are equal; if the values are not equal, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a < > b) is true.
>
Checks whether the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a > b) is not true.
<
Checks whether the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a < b) is true.
>=
Checks whether the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a >= b) is not true.
<=
Checks whether the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand; if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Example: (a <= b) is true.
AND, OR, IN, BETWEEN, LIKE, NOT, IS NULL
Logical operators.
Supported Partition Key Types : The following are the supported partition keys.
string
date
timestamp
int
bigint
long
tinyint
smallint
decimal
If an type is encountered that is not valid, an exception is thrown.
The following list shows the valid operators on each type. When you define a crawler, the partitionKey
type is created as a STRING
, to be compatible with the catalog partitions.
Sample API Call :
The segment of the table's partitions to scan in this request.
The zero-based index number of the segment. For example, if the total number of segments is 4, SegmentNumber
values range from 0 through 3.
The total number of segments.

(dict) --
Represents a slice of table data.
Values (list) --
The values of the partition.
DatabaseName (string) --
The name of the catalog database in which to create the partition.
TableName (string) --
The name of the database table in which to create the partition.
