Airflow: Unable to access the AWS providers

Question

I'm trying to access the Airflow Providers, specifically the AWS providers, found here

I'm building a docker image and installing Airflow using PIP and including the AWS subpackage in the install command.

pip install 'apache-airflow[crypto,aws,celery,postgres,hive,jdbc,mysql,ssh]==1.10.9' \

However, i'm unable to access the Provider from Python.

from airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.glue import AwsGlueJobHook

>>> from airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.glue import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'airflow.providers'

Providers folder has not been installed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Providers package is no longer included with Airflow, but you can separately install them with pip using the specific backport package, for aws you can use:

pip install apache-airflow-backport-providers-amazon

More info can be found here: Airflow Amazon Provider

Answer 2

Providers package is currently only for Airflow Master branch.

If you want to check what operators are available in your version, either check code for that specific version, example: https://github.com/apache/airflow/tree/1.10.10 or https://airflow.apache.org/docs/1.10.10/_api/index.html
