Amazon Athena Connector

Summary

The Jitterbit Harmony Amazon Athena Connector establishes access to Amazon Athena.

The Amazon Athena connector provides an interface for creating an Amazon Athena connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Amazon Athena activities. Activities interact with Amazon Athena through the connection and are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

The Amazon Athena connector is accessed from the design component palette's Connections tab (see Design Component Palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with Private Agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Connection Documentation

In addition to the Amazon Athena connection, see Jitterbit's comprehensive Amazon Athena connection details page. Configuration details such as these are included on that page:

  • Getting Started: Initial steps for establishing a connection.
  • Advanced Features: User-defined views and SSL configuration.
  • Data Model: The data model that the connector uses to represent the endpoint.
  • Advanced Configurations Properties: Properties that can be defined to configure a connection for both basic and advanced configurations.

Activity Documentation

Together, a specific Amazon Athena connection and its activities are referred to as an Amazon Athena endpoint:

Amazon Athena activity types

  • Query: Retrieves records from a table at Amazon Athena and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

Prerequisites and Supported API Versions

The Amazon Athena connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

This connector requires the use of a Private Agent.

Refer to the documentation for information on the schema nodes and fields.

OAuth Authentication

OAuth authentication is supported as described in Configure OAuth Connections.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Amazon Athena connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging for Private Agents to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.verbose.logging.AmazonAthena" level="TRACE"/>

  5. Check the agent logs for more information.
