Is there currently a way when using

define_asset_job

to include

resource_defs

? I want to specify a custom IO manager for a specific asset job, but it doesn't seem like this is currently supported

This isn't currently possible - you'd need to put the IO manager on the assets you're targeting or on the

Definitions

I see, is this by design, or something that might be added in the future? I guess since assets can have their own

resource_defs

, you could potentially end up overriding them if

define_asset_job

has a

resource_defs

param

It's not something we currently envision adding, for the reason you mentioned.

define_asset_job

is essentially just meant to be a selection layer over assets that are already defined elsewhere. If different jobs were materializing the same assets using different I/O managers, it could be confusing that the same asset definition could correspond to distinct physical assets in different storage systems.

That makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.
