TABLE_REDIRECTION_ERROR on Glue Catalog Delta Table

Question

I have a **Databricks** pipeline set up to create **Delta tables**, using **Glue Catalog as the Metastore**. I was able to query the Delta table via Athena successfully. However, starting from 2024-02-06, I began encountering **TABLE_REDIRECTION_ERROR**. ```sql SELECT * FROM ""."" limit 10; ``` ```log TABLE_REDIRECTION_ERROR: Table 'awsdatacatalog..

.

' redirected to 'awsdatacatalog$delta-lake-aws.', but the target table 'awsdatacatalog$delta-lake-aws..

' does not exist.! ``` ![Enter image description here](/media/postImages/original/IM-VXIBkTPQMG3xhHca82xDw)

Answer

Hello,

I would like to inform in Athena, for Delta Lake tables, CREATE TABLE statements should include only the LOCATION and table_type property. Hence, any additional table properties are not supported in Athena for delta table. I would suggest you to check the table DDL and verify if it contains any other property like CLUSTER BY then remove it from create table statement.
