You can now use HAQM Athena to query encrypted data stored in HAQM S3. You can query data that’s encrypted using Server-Side Encryption with HAQM S3-Managed Encryption Keys, Server-Side Encryption with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) – Managed Keys, and Client-Side Encryption with keys managed by KMS. HAQM Athena also integrates with KMS and provides you an option to encrypt your result sets. To use this feature via the JDBC driver, you will need to download the latest version of the driver. The new JDBC driver has improved performance, support for cancelling queries and several bug fixes.
HAQM Athena also added support for querying data in HAQM S3 that has been LZO-compressed. In addition, you can now add, replace, and rename columns via Alter Table commands.
