AWS Athena notebook calculation result error: 'Error while getting calculation results', NoSuchKey

Question

I have a problem with Amazon athena spark notebook. Every time when I try to run a spark command, even `print(spark)` it looks like it is running, but throws an exception at the end. For a command like `print(spark)` it sometimes shows that the calculation was completed, but mostly the error fails the calculation. Here is the output for `print(spark)`:

```
Calculation started (calculation_id=f6c4ea70-4ae5-17ad-6feb-22b3dbef54e0) in (session=10c4ea6e-3099-d308-0daf-c31af358397d). Checking calculation status...
Progress:   0%|          |elapsed time = 00:00s
Calculation completed.
Exception encountered while running calculation: ('Error while getting calculation results', NoSuchKey('An error occurred (NoSuchKey) when calling the GetObject operation: The specified key does not exist.'))
```

I have tried this with loading data, or just data aggregation, and I always get this error. When I try to inspect the calculation later in the session details, it shows this:

![Session detail calculation error](/media/postImages/original/IMWw0Oieg2T2KVBp6Csf3UFQ)

The workgroup for pyspark engine was created with defalut parameters and should have access to the output s3 bucket. Any help on how to resolve this, so I could start with the Athena notebooks for real, would be appreciated.

Answer

This error occurs when the role is not able to fetch the results from S3, which is caused probably that the role did not have the proper S3 permissions.  Can you confirm that the role you specified in work group has the following permissions or check if there is any explicit "Deny" for S3 output location ? (Please replace the S3 bucket with yours) You can read more about the role permissions in this [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/notebooks-spark-troubleshooting-workgroups.html).

```
       {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET"
            ]
        }
```
