Hi , could you please clarify:
-
is it AWS Glue or Glue DataBrew?
-
can you describe better the flow in the Job?
When speaking about combining multiple files and having a single output, there might be multiple methods:
- joining the input files (if the files have a common key and they want to combine the fields of both files)
- using a union (if they have the same schema and they just want to append a file to another)
obviously after they have combined the files they will be able to use a single Target node to write out. AWS Glue and Glue DataBrew, are running on top of Spark, so the output even of a single target would be split in multiple files, if they need one single file:
- in AWS Glue they could just add a step to reduce the number of Spark partitions to 1 using the function coalesce(1)
- In DataBrew, unless it is recently changed, you do not have this option please check this other question/answer.
hope this helps.
