I've been tasked with extracting various tables from Canvas to insert the data into another relational database. Per specifications, the output type for the files needs to be parquet. When I retrieve the output documents from the Canvas Data 2 API it appears that the first object in S3 is a schema definition for the table. Is it safe to make the assumption that the first object will always be a schema definition? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to configuration my ETL jobs to handle these files in a repeatable way and I need a way to identify which files need to be omitted from processing.
