adding EventBatchingCondition to CDK trigger

Question

Hi team,
I want to create a glue trigger via the CDK and associate it with a workflow,

the trigger is of type "EVENT"

I want to add the following config to my trigger via CDK :

```
"EventBatchingCondition": {
            "BatchSize": 5,
            "BatchWindow": 900
        }
```

but did not find any object allowing me to add this config to the CfnTrigger.

this is my CDK code :

```
const glueEdwWorkflowTrigger = new glue.CfnTrigger(
      this,
      "trigger",
      {
        name: "trigger",
        workflowName: myWorkFlow.name,
        type: "EVENT",

predicate:{conditions:[{}]},
        actions: [
          {
            jobName: myCfnJob.name,
            arguments: {},
          },
        ]
      }
    );
```

how can I add EventBatchingCondition info to my CfnTrigger?

thanks a lot.

Hi there,

As of now the support of EventBatchingCondition property on a trigger is not yet available in CloudFormation, thus `CfnTrigger` construct does not have such capability neither. You can track this open Github [issue](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/967) for latest update on this feature request. As of now, one workaround can be to use the CDK custom resource `AwsCustomResource` construct to invoke `UpdateTrigger` API to add [EventBatchingCondition](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-api-jobs-trigger.html#aws-glue-api-jobs-trigger-TriggerUpdate), once the trigger was created.
