Stuck syncing on Athena view

Hi,

I'm attempting to connect Metabase to an Athena view. Our data is coming from Dynamo so it has a lot of JSON. I'm using views to extract the JSON into normal tables. In Athena, we have our query result location set to s3://athena-query-results/ and that's where I believe the information for the view is being saved. The tables that Athena is reading are stored in a different bucket s3://glue-dynamo-output.

I was able to connect to the query-results bucket but since last night Metabase has been stuck syncing:

I'm wondering if I'm pointing to the correct bucket. I've done some digging and saw that you guys pushed support for Athena views a few years ago, so I'm pretty confident it can be done. I'm sure I just need some pointers on how to make the connection properly.

Thank you,

Additionally, some more configuration settings I'm using.

  • Verified that the region is correct, us-east-1
  • Workgroup is set to primary
  • Catalog corresponds to my current working catalog in Athena, AwsDataCatalog

The database successfully connected, but it's just stuck syncing.

Are you a cloud user? If that’s the case write to help at Metabase dot com

Ah yes. This is my first day using, apologies if this was the wrong place. Thanks for the guidance!
