Help with Athena error: GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR: S3 service error

Question

I am trying to analyze CloudFront standard logs using Amazon Athena. I get the following error after running a query:

GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR: S3 service error
This query ran against the "" database, unless qualified by the query.

Can anyone explain what this error means and how to resolve it?

Answer

```
Here are a few steps you can take to resolve your issue:
 
1. Check your S3 permissions
Assess the permissions for S3 to ensure Athena can access the bucket
Documentation reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/s3-permissions.html, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/writing-iam-policies-how-to-grant-access-to-an-amazon-s3-bucket/
 
2. Raise a support ticket
The same issue was asked previously, and the AWS support team requested the user to raise a support ticket
Documentation reference: https://repost.aws/questions/QUlEnZACZjRCaT8CA3SPXesg/questions/QUlEnZACZjRCaT8CA3SPXesg/generic-internal-error-s3-service-error?
