Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

changeRequests

A list of change request objects that are run in order. A change request object consists of changeType , s3Path, and dbPath. A changeType can have the following values:

PUT – Adds or updates files in a database.
DELETE – Deletes files in a database.

All the change requests require a mandatory dbPath attribute that defines the path within the database directory. All database paths must start with a leading / and end with a trailing /. The s3Path attribute defines the s3 source file path and is required for a PUT change type. The s3path must end with a trailing / if it is a directory and must end without a trailing / if it is a file.

Here are few examples of how you can use the change request object:

This request adds a single sym file at database root location.

{ "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/sym", "dbPath":"/"}
This request adds files in the given s3Path under the 2020.01.02 partition of the database.

{ "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/"}
This request adds files in the given s3Path under the taq table partition of the database.

[ { "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/taq/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/taq/"}]
This request deletes the 2020.01.02 partition of the database.

[{ "changeType": "DELETE", "dbPath": "/2020.01.02/"} ]
The DELETE request allows you to delete the existing files under the 2020.01.02 partition of the database, and the PUT request adds a new taq table under it.

[ {"changeType": "DELETE", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/"}, {"changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/taq/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/taq/"}]

Type: Array of ChangeRequest objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 32 items.

Required: Yes

clientToken

A token that ensures idempotency. This token expires in 10 minutes.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.
