Amazon Athena/Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 Connector

Intro

Amazon Athena is a server-less, interactive query service that lets you analyze big data in S3 using standard SQL. Use Domo's Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 connector to query data from your Athena instance. Use Domo's Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 connector to visualize your Amazon Athena data using JDBC 2.0. To learn more about the Amazon Athena API, visit their page (https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/athena/).

You connect to your Amazon Athena account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Amazon Athena account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

• Your AWS access key.

• Your AWS secret key.

• The Amazon S3 location to which the query output is written (e.g. s3://aws-athena-query-results-1234-us-west-2/). You can find this by going to Settings in the Athena web console.

• Your AWS region.

For information about obtaining AWS credentials, visit http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html.

Required Permission Policies

To gain the access to AWS services and resources, such as Athena and the Amazon S3 buckets, provide the JDBC driver credentials to your application. If you are using the JDBC driver, ensure that the IAM permissions policy includes all actions listed in AmazonAthenaFullAccess Managed Policy.

The AmazonAthenaFullAccess managed policy grants full access to Athena.

Managed policy contents change, so the policy shown here may be out-of-date. Check the IAM console for the most up-to-date policy.

Connecting to Your Amazon Athena Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Amazon Athena account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Once you have entered valid Amazon Athena credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Amazon Athena JDBC 2.0 DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a number of options for entering your query and configuring the report.

Other Panes

For information about the remaining sections of the connector interface, including how to configure scheduling, retry, and update options, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
