Querying Real Estate Data in S3 Using Amazon Athena

In this AWS hands-on lab, you’ll use Amazon Athena to query sample data of sold Manhattan houses stored in Amazon S3. To do so, you’ll first upload the sample data to Amazon S3, partition the data in Hive format, create an underlying table in Amazon Athena, and finally, use the Amazon Athena query editor to run SQL queries against the estate data.
