A big component of a new project uses AWS Redshift Datashare resources within and across accounts. It would be really nice to have Lucid detect the published and consumed datashares within a region and account, and extra nice if it could draw the linkage to the producing and consuming Redshift Clusters

This would be very nice.  But, I’m not using Lucid at my current employer.  Maybe I would if it supported this.  However, I understand if this is too niche for Lucid to invest time in.  If so, is there a way for the community to add this support to Lucid.  It would be involve of connecting to Redshift clusters and running SQL queries specific to this use case. 

I’m new to Redshift data shares, but it seems there’d be a few types.  For us, the 2nd and 3rd types would be useful to see.

  1. Public datashares published on AWS Data Exchange (the “subscriptions” tab).
  2. Private datashares (the “in my account” and “other accounts” tabs from a Redshift cluster’s console page).
  3. Datashares that the cluster has connected to and created external databases for.  Only this type would be associated with schemas, tables, views, etc.

At a minimum, support for identifying the Datashares exposed by the “DescribeDataShares” API and mapping them to the Redshift namespaces would be extremely helpful and does not require any database connections.
