HIVE_CURSOR_ERROR: Failed to read Parquet file, when i using Athena engine version 3 in my workgroup

I have the same issue as well. Digging a bit deeper I found that the the query is failing when I use equal sign. With 'like' operator it works. It looks weird.

Doesn't work

select product_name, user_id from {table} 
where 1=1
AND meta_date = '2020-01-01'
and user_id = 'foo'
and product_name = 'name1'

Works

select product_name, user_id from {table} 
where 1=1
AND meta_date = '2020-01-01'
and user_id = 'foo'
and product_name like '%name1%'

I'm also experiencing the same thing. Downgrading to v2 helps. If someone from AWS is interested, I can provide file/config/queries which is causing issues.

It turned out that it was missing/wrongly formatted page index (https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/PageIndex.md). Engine v3 is requires page index in parquet files to work.

Having the same issue, but for me it seems to be related to a date column, it has values like below:

1754-08-30 22:43:41.129

2023-06-23 07:00:00.000

query works fine v2 but in v3 will only work in periods with no 1754 dates.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have a parquet file that reads fine in athena engine 3 that is not loading. I downgraded the engine version to 2 in the athena workgroup and it works fine. Is this a bug in Athena?

Experiencing the same issue. I uploaded a lot of parquet files and it fails to query over new + old combined. I inspected the schema with parquet-tools and they are the exact same, so no issue there.

Downgrading to v2 also helped us, but why?

For everyone finding this thread, it seems to me that Athena Engine Version 3 cannot handle timestamps before epoch time (January 1st 1970). I opened a thread about it before stumbling upon this one: https://repost.aws/questions/QUYNLXewhyQwaOxR0-FdbQEQ/bug-athena-engine-version-3-cannot-handle-timestamps-before-epoch-time.

Mods let me know if I should move my answer from the thread I opened to here in order to keep information in one spot.
