Reference

To use the Amazon S3 connector successfully, you might need detailed information, such as information about data type mappings, stage properties, and runtime column propagation.

Metadata formatting options
You can specify column metadata and metadata about how a file is formatted in a delimited string or in a .osh schema file. The metadata that you specify can be used for runtime column propagation and imported into the metadata repository.
Runtime column propagation
Use runtime column propagation to have the connector automatically add missing columns to the link schema when the job runs.
