Integration with AWS Glue

Support for AWS Glue is integrated into Simba Amazon Athena JDBC Connector. AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL (extract, transform, and load) service that makes it simple and cost-effective to categorize your data, clean it, enrich it, and move it reliably between various data stores.

For optimal detection of AWS Glue, the IAM user for the connector requires permissions for the glue:GetCatalogImportStatus API in its policy. The default AWS Managed Athena policy, AmazonAthenaFullAccess, does not grant access to this API by default. Refer to your Amazon Web Services documentation for information on how to grant API access in the policy settings.
