Athena JDBC Driver issue running a Glue Job

Question

Trying to query an athena view using a Glue Job I am getting this jdbc driver issue:

>Error Category: UNCLASSIFIED_ERROR; An error occurred while calling o109.load. com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver

Using following code to query an Athena view:

```
athena_view_dataframe = (
    glue_context.read.format("jdbc")
    .option("driver", "com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver")
    .option("AwsCredentialsProviderClass","com.simba.athena.amazonaws.auth.InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider")
    .option("url", "jdbc:awsathena://athena.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:443")
    .option("dbtable", "AwsDataCatalog.cars.electric_cars_v")
    .option("S3OutputLocation","s3://mybucket/temp")
    .load()
    )
```
I dont know how can I solve this error

Answer

Glue doesn't provide the Simba driver because it's proprietary and requires a license fee.   Have you added it somehow to your job?  
Otherwise, you could ask Athena to run the query using boto3 and read the result from s3.
