Feature Request: Limit Schema Scope by Prefix #4435

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Problem statement

Currently, UCX scans and processes all schemas in the hive_metastore.

Allowing a schema-prefix filter would make it easier to:

  • Exclude irrelevant schemas (like scratch or temporary schemas).
  • Focus migration runs on business-critical schema groups.
  • Reduce runtime and noise in large Hive metastores or Unity Catalog deployments.

Proposed Solution

In some environments, customers want to restrict UCX operations (assessment, migration, or linting) to only a subset of schemas that follow a naming convention (e.g., finance_, ml_, test_*).
