[Kendra] use of CUSTOM connector type not documented for create_data_source

[ssmails]

Describe the issue

How is the type 'CUSTOM' defined here to be used ?
Can it be used to create all data sources that are currently present in kendra, but not listed explicitly here. Eg. redshift ?
or is its purpose different ?

response = client.create_data_source(
    Name='string',
    IndexId='string',
    Type='S3'|'SHAREPOINT'|'DATABASE'|'SALESFORCE'|'ONEDRIVE'|'SERVICENOW'|'CUSTOM'|'CONFLUENCE'|'GOOGLEDRIVE'|'WEBCRAWLER'|'WORKDOCS'|'FSX'|'SLACK'|'BOX'|'QUIP'|'JIRA'|'GITHUB'|'ALFRESCO'|'TEMPLATE',
    Configuration={

Per the docs link listed in this issue, it is not clear. Appreciate if docs are updated and example is provide for the same for create_data_source. What should be provided in replacement of the configuration object and the create_data_source input?

1. For redshift (if it is supported via this mechanism or any other)

Configuration (dict) –
Configuration information to connect to your data source repository.

You can’t specify the Configuration parameter when the Type parameter is set to CUSTOM. If you do, you receive a ValidationException exception.

The Configuration parameter is required for all other data sources.

Thanks for reaching out. The create_data_source command makes a request to the CreateDataSource API, so any improvements to the documentation would need to be provided by the Kendra team.

Generally we recommend using the Provide feedback links at the bottom of API pages to send feedback directly to the appropriate team, and any documentation updates would be reflected in SDK documentation. But we can also try reaching out to the service team internally for more information.

In the Kendra User Guide, I found this page on custom data source connectors: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/data-source-custom.html, but didn't see anything on Redshift specifically. I found an internal feature request for Amazon Kendra to add a native connector for Redshift, that doesn't have much activity but I could add your +1 and use case to that.
