Class ExternalLocationsClient

Creates a new external location entry in the metastore. The caller must be a metastore admin or have the CREATE_EXTERNAL_LOCATION privilege on both the metastore and the associated storage credential.

Deletes the specified external location from the metastore. The caller must be the owner of the external location.

Gets an external location from the metastore. The caller must be either a metastore admin, the owner of the external location, or a user that has some privilege on the external location.

Gets an array of external locations (ExternalLocationInfo objects) from the metastore. The caller must be a metastore admin, the owner of the external location, or a user that has some privilege on the external location. There is no guarantee of a specific ordering of the elements in the array.

NOTE: we recommend using max_results=0 to use the paginated version of this API. Unpaginated calls will be deprecated soon.

PAGINATION BEHAVIOR: When using pagination (max_results >= 0), a page may contain zero results while still providing a next_page_token. Clients must continue reading pages until next_page_token is absent, which is the only indication that the end of results has been reached.

Updates an external location in the metastore. The caller must be the owner of the external location, or be a metastore admin. In the second case, the admin can only update the name of the external location.
