Creates partitions in Athena on behalf of files added to S3 that use a /year/month/day/hour/
key prefix.
As a one-off operation, you'll need to install the Athena JDBC driver into a lib folder, and then add it to your local Maven repository so that it can be incorporated into the final jar:
mkdir lib
aws s3 cp s3://athena-downloads/drivers/AthenaJDBC41-1.0.1.jar lib/
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/AthenaJDBC41-1.0.1.jar -DgroupId=com.amazonaws -DartifactId=athena.jdbc41 -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
And then, to build:
mvn clean compile verify
Before you create a Lambda function, you will need to create an IAM role that allows Lambda to execute queries in Athena. Create a role named lambda_athena_exec_role
and attach the following managed policies to the role: AmazonS3FullAccess, AmazonAthenaFullAccess.
Add this inline access policy:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"logs:CreateLogGroup",
"logs:CreateLogStream",
"logs:PutLogEvents"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:logs:*:*:*"
}
]
}
And attach the following trust relationship to enable Lambda to assume the role:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "lambda.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}
Create a Lambda function that can be associated with S3 new object event notifications. When creating the function, you'll need to set several environment variables:
PARTITION_TYPE
Supply one of the following values:Month
,Day
orHour
. This environment variable is optional: if you omit it, the function will default toDay
.TABLE_NAME
Use the format ``.<table_name>. For example,
sampledb.vpc_flow_logs`.S3_STAGING_DIR
An Amazon S3 location to which your query output will be written. (Although the Lambda function is only executing DDL statements, Athena still writes an output file to S3.)ATHENA_REGION
The region in which Athena is located (e.g.us-east-1
).DDB_TABLE_NAME
The name of the DynamoDB table holding partition information.
Specify the handler and an existing role:
- Handler:
com.amazonaws.services.lambda.CreateAthenaPartitionsBasedOnS3Event::handleRequest
- Existing role:
lambda_athena_exec_role
Set the timeout to one minute.
