\title{Access and Query Amazon Athena via DBI/JDBC}
\description{
Methods are provides to connect to 'Amazon' 'Athena', lookup schemas/tables,
perform queries and retrieve query results. A lightweight 'RJDBC' implementation
is included along with an interface to the 'AWS' command-line utility.
}
\section{IMPORTANT}{


Since R 3.5 (I don't remember this happening in R 3.4.x) signals sent from interrupting
Athena JDBC calls crash the R #' interpreter. You need to set the \code{-Xrs} option to avoid
signals being passed on to the JVM owner. That has to be done \emph{before} \code{rJava} is
loaded so you either need to remember to put it at the top of all scripts \emph{or} stick this
in your local #' \code{~/.Rprofile} and/or sitewide \code{Rprofile}:\preformatted{if (!grepl("-Xrs", getOption("java.parameters", ""))) {
  options(
    "java.parameters" = c(getOption("java.parameters", default = NULL), "-Xrs")
  )
}
}
}
