Athena DocumentDB with GeoJSON data not working

Question

We have connected Athena to a DocumentDB cluster with GeoJSON data stored inside. When trying to query these data we're getting following error: GENERIC_USER_ERROR: Encountered an exception[java.lang.RuntimeException] from your LambdaFunction[arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:<>:<>] executed in context[S3SpillLocation{bucket='<>', key='<>', directory=true}] with message[Error while processing field geoPoint] Is there any way to query GeoJSON data in DocumentDB from Athena? Query id: 138f4f39-a8d0-4cff-b0a3-357d2d310196

Answer

Hello,

The error - `[Error while processing field geoPoint]`seems to hint at syntax issue in processing the field `geoPoint`.

However, to be able to troubleshoot this further, our team would require information on the version of the connector, CloudWatch Logs of the Lambda Function, and metadata definition to be able to troubleshoot this issue.

Hence, could you please create a support case with our Athena team instead so that we may discuss details on your resource configurations?

Additionally I would also recommend checking the following AWS Docs and Github space to reach out to the developers directly for Amazon Athena DocumentDB Connector issues -
