Why
Google Drive spreadsheet imports write raw data under a dataset-specific path:
<department>/<output_folder>/<data_set_name>/import_year=...The crawler was scanning the shared
<department>/<output_folder>prefix with table level3. For some imports, Glue grouped the dataset folder as a partition and created a generic table such asg_driveinstead of the expected dataset table.This caused

land_reg_registered_leases_greater_london_2026_04to land successfully in S3 but not appear as its own raw-zone Glue table.Parking imports appeared to work because the parking

g-drivefolder contains many datasets with different schemas. In that case, Glue could not safely group everything into one sharedg_drivetable, so it created dataset-specific tables such ashackney_carparkwith a warning message "Found schemas don't match at level 3; Created table hackney_carpark". That behaviour is incidental, not guaranteed. The crawler config is still too broad and should be fixed so every Google Drive import reliably crawls its own dataset path.What Changed
