name

The name of the data catalog to create. The catalog name must be unique for the Amazon Web Services account and can use a maximum of 127 alphanumeric, underscore, at sign, or hyphen characters. The remainder of the length constraint of 256 is reserved for use by Athena.

For FEDERATED type the catalog name has following considerations and limits:

• The catalog name allows special characters such as _ , @ , \ , - . These characters are replaced with a hyphen (-) when creating the CFN Stack Name and with an underscore (_) when creating the Lambda Function and Glue Connection Name.

• The catalog name has a theoretical limit of 128 characters. However, since we use it to create other resources that allow less characters and we prepend a prefix to it, the actual catalog name limit for FEDERATED catalog is 64 - 23 = 41 characters.
