AWS Glue 数据目录的缺点是什么？

Question

What is major drawback of AWS Glue Data Catalog? Been asked in one of interview.

Answer 1

That could be answered in a number of ways depending on the wider context. For example:

• It's an AWS managed service, so using it locks you into the AWS ecosystem (instead of using a standalone Hive metastore for example)
• It's limited to the data sources supported by the Glue Data Catalog
• It doesn't integrate with third-party authentication and authorisation tools like Apache Ranger (as far as I am aware)
