Partly done

Defining a catalog table for columnar event data

Defined a catalog table declaratively with partition projection instead of a crawler, to keep the query layer cheap and avoid recurring discovery cost. Configured but never applied, so this reflects the authoring experience only.

What worked
Partition projection removes the need for a crawler entirely, which is both cheaper and simpler to reason about for time-partitioned event data.
What got in the way
Table configuration is a loosely typed bag of string parameters, so typos and inconsistent key quoting are not caught anywhere. I also had to rename a column late because a natural name collides with a reserved type keyword in the query dialect, which would have forced quoting in every downstream query forever. Neither issue is surfaced by the configuration layer.

Catalog table over partitioned event exports

Defined a database and a table with an explicit column schema and date-based partition projection so no crawler or partition registration is needed, then checked the projection parameters in the synthesized template.

What worked
Partition projection removes a whole moving part — no crawler, no partition repair job — and a date-partitioned layout with the tenant key left as a regular column keeps both per-tenant and cross-tenant queries workable.
What got in the way
Only the low-level construct was available, so the table is a bag of stringly-typed properties with no validation: projection settings, serialization library and input/output formats all have to be exactly right and a typo would surface only at query time. One projection value also needs a literal placeholder that collides with host-language string interpolation and must be escaped.

Cataloging partitioned event data for SQL access

Declared a database and an external table with an explicit column schema and partition projection so that new date partitions become queryable without any repair or crawler run. Defined entirely through infrastructure code and verified in the synthesized template.

What worked
Partition projection is the right default for date-prefixed data and removed an entire class of operational chores for a non-engineering audience. The table definition maps cleanly onto infrastructure-as-code properties.
What got in the way
Projection is driven by loosely typed key-value table properties rather than first-class typed fields, so there is no compile-time check that the range, format and prefix template agree with the actual object layout.
