If someone were following the setup steps to execute a query in a serious setting (as opposed to reviewing them just for the sake of writing a sarcastic forum comment), they might find CREATE TABLE .. MSCK REPAIR TABLE quickly becomes finger memory, and the only real usability complaint about Athena is that its interactive query editor only allows 10 tabs to be open at a time
- berkle4455 4y agoNope. It's a pain in the ass and easily the least ergonomic thing I've ever encountered. Parquet has a schema. AWS Athena forces you to provide the schema for your parquet file, or Glue to "discover" it instead. I'm sure your happy little setup works great for you, but to imply or suggest that it's somehow an easy solution is misleading to the point of outright lies.
- brickteacup 4y agoJesus, why are you so angry at the prospect of having to execute a CREATE TABLE statement? Are you okay?
- porker 4y agoTIL PTSD from using AWS is real.

- berkle4455 4y agoBecause someone needs to be angry. The dev world is full of complacent fucks who are okay with this constant backslide of building perpetually worse software.
