Quicksight Athena - analysis error: "HIVE_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT: Unable to create input format"

0

Hello.

I'm trying to create an analysis from my DocumentDB instance. I'm using the aws services Glue, Athena and Quicksight. In Glue I have created a connection to the DocumentDB and a crawler for auto creating tables. This works as expected and tables are created and displayed in glue. Even though I specify that the crawler should not give the tables any prefixes, it does add the database name as a prefix. When I look at the Glue catalog in Athena (the default AwsDataCatalog) I do see the database that was created in glue, however it does not show any tables. If I click on edit, it takes me to the correct database in glue which displays the tables that have been created by the previously mentioned crawler. So my first question is Why doesn't the tables show up in Athena?

This is blocking me from performing queries in Athena.

When I go to QuickSight and select the default Athena glue catalog ("AwsDataCatalog") I DO get the tables created by the crawler, and I can create datasets. However, when I try to create an analysis using these datasets, I get the error:

sourceErrorCode: 100071
sourceErrorMessage: [Simba][AthenaJDBC](100071) An error has been thrown from the AWS Athena client. HIVE_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT: Unable to create input format

I have looked a bit around and some people said that this error is due to the table properties "Input format" and "Output format" being empty (which they indeed are for me). I have tried entering almost all the different formats to the table, but I keep on getting the Quicksight error above only now it has the input format at the end

HIVE_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT: Unable to create input format json

So my second questions is I do not see anywhere in the crawler where I can specify input or output format. Does it have to be done manually? And What are the correct input and output formats for my setup?
