Amazon Glue is a serverless, scalable data integration service that simplifies discovering, preparing, moving, and integrating data from multiple sources. Amazon Glue 5.1 upgrades core engines to Apache Spark 3.5.6, Python 3.11, and Scala 2.12.18, bringing performance and security enhancements. It also updates support for open table format libraries, including Apache Hudi 1.0.2, Apache Iceberg 1.10.0, and Delta Lake 3.3.2. Additionally, Amazon Glue 5.1 introduces support for Apache Iceberg format version 3.0, adding default column values, deletion vectors for merge-on-read tables, multi-argument transforms, and row lineage tracking. This release also extends Amazon Lake Formation fine-grained access control to write operations (both DML and DDL) for Spark DataFrames and Spark SQL. Previously, this capability was limited to read operations only.
