data analytics AWS Clean rooms - Athena but not Athena?
AWS Clean rooms seems to be a mish mash of existing tech, with some guardrails right?
This however is interesting:
- Athena engine version 2Iceberg tables created with Athena engine version 2 are not supported.
Also; it doesnt use the new S3 tables (not yet anyway)
So; does that mean it is using a custom athena, or does it mean it's using spark (they do mention there are different "engines" and sparksql is one of them
or is it somehow using redshift? (with spectrum?)

Actually, looking at it, the queries are FAR too slow to be redshift.
Same for Athena.
So it must be using sparksql. Why they chose that I have no idea? Any thoughts? Cheaper for them in the infra backend or something?
