[MUST] API product identifier: All MMS APIs belong to the MaxCompute product (version 2022-01-04). CLI format: aliyun maxcompute <command> [params]. Do not use other products' APIs to operate MMS resources.

1) Model & lifecycle

Core objects

• Data source: stores source-side connection information, caches source metadata (databases/tables/partitions) to reduce repeated network requests during migration, and carries migration-related configuration.
• Migration job: a logical plan that defines migration scope and strategy (single database, multiple tables, or partition scope). Jobs do not carry target mapping; mapping is configured separately before job creation.
• Migration task: the physical execution plan split from a job. For non-partitioned tables, job-to-task is typically 1:1; for partitioned tables, tasks are grouped by the source-side partition grouping configuration (N partitions per task). Data in one task is migrated within one Spark task.
