WDYT to something like this?
You can now specify role_arn to assume a role for querying Athena, rather than using the access key & secret directly.
STS tokens expire after 1 hour by default, so I've also wrapped the client calls in aautorefresh_credentials
block. (Which is a little gross, open to better suggestions)[I've since updated to using Aws::AssumeRoleCredentials, which handles autorefreshing for you]
STS requires you to specify a region, which might not be the same as the database's region. To try & clean up the distinction I've moved all the Athena credential settings to a new
credentials
sub-hash, but it should continue to work with people still setting access key & secret at the top level.
