Athena recursive cte NOT_SUPPORTED: Recursion depth limit exceeded (10). Use 'max_recursion_depth'

Question

Hi,
Trying to use a recursive cte with Athena and I get this error :

NOT_SUPPORTED: Recursion depth limit exceeded (10). Use 'max_recursion_depth' session property to modify the limit.

How would I set this session property from the console ?
Thanks!

Answer

Using the WITH clause to create recursive queries is not supported.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/select.html#select-parameters

Please share your SQL if you are not using WITH clause.

Answer

Athena engine v3 supports recursive query per the doc link above.

> Using the WITH clause to create recursive queries is supported starting in Athena engine version 3. The maximum recursion depth is 10.

I too would like to know how to set the the limit in the console. Is there a hard limit?
