MetadataWriteUnits

Default Value Data Type Required

None

Integer

Yes, if MetadataDatabaseTable is set.

Description

The number of write units allocated to a metadata table when it is created. 1 write unit is equal to 1kb per second.

It is recommended that you allocate 1 write unit for every 20 database tables sampled to create the metadata table.

Important:

  • Changing this value does not update an existing table. The value is used only when the table is created.
  • Once the metadata table is created, the connector no longer attempts to write to it, so you can use the AWS console to reduce the number of write units to 1 (the minimum value possible).
