Issue

The name field of ser_de_info is documented as being optional, but if it is not specified, and error is given when attempting to apply

Error: Error updating Glue Catalog Table: InvalidParameter: 1 validation error(s) found.
- minimum field size of 1, UpdateTableInput.TableInput.StorageDescriptor.SerdeInfo.Name.

Looks like it's trying to set name to "" instead of null like it says it's going to do in the diff

~ ser_de_info {
    - name                  = "testName" -> null
      parameters            = {
          "serialization.format" = "1"
      }
      serialization_library = "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe"
}

Yeah, there are some missing validation checks for this. Looking at the Go SDK -AWS Glue Reference, both the Name and SerializationLibrary properties require at least one character.
