JSON-RPC (X-Amz-Target) multi-tenant 77 operations

Quick start

import boto3
glue = boto3.client("glue", endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
                    region_name="us-east-1",
                    aws_access_key_id="test", aws_secret_access_key="test")
glue.create_database(DatabaseInput={"Name":"db"})
glue.create_table(DatabaseName="db",
    TableInput={"Name":"t","StorageDescriptor":{"Columns":[{"Name":"c","Type":"string"}]}})

CloudFormation

No CloudFormation resource types map to this service yet. Resources can still be created via the SDK or CLI.

Known limitations

Crawlers transition RUNNING→READY on a timer but create or update no tables — no S3 files are read and no schema is inferred.
Python-shell jobs run as a subprocess and Spark (glueetl) jobs run in Docker when available; job runs are not pure metadata.
