Amazon Glue now supports additional file types and single file output
Today, Amazon Glue announces support for additional compressed file types, Excel files (as source), and XML and Tableau's Hyper files (as target). We are also introducing the option to select the number of output files for an S3 target.
The new experience will now allow you to have one single file as the output of your Glue job, or to specify a custom number for the output files. Further, Glue now supports Excel files via S3 file source nodes, and XML or Tableau Hyper files for S3 file target nodes. New compression types that will be available to use are: LZ4, SNAPPY, DEFLATE, LZO, BROTLI, ZSTD and ZLIB.
These new features are now available in the regions as Amazon Glue:
• Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet
• Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD
