Amazon EMR S3A Connector: Faster S3 Access for Analytics

🚀 Amazon Web Services announced the Amazon EMR S3A connector, an AWS-optimized S3 interface for Apache Hadoop, Spark, and Hive on EMR. It extends open-source S3A with AWS-specific enhancements including MagicCommitter V2, improved credentials resolution, accelerated prefix listing, and Spark fine-grained access control. The connector is pre-configured in EMR release 7.10 and later and is available in all Regions where EMR runs.

Amazon EMR Adds Spark FGAC and Glue Data Catalog Views

🔒 Amazon EMR on EC2 now supports Apache Spark native fine-grained access control (FGAC) through AWS Lake Formation and adds support for AWS Glue Data Catalog views. These capabilities let administrators define and enforce granular Lake Formation policies once and apply them consistently to Spark jobs and interactive sessions, reducing administrative overhead and security risk. Access checks support named resource grants, data filters, and tag-based controls and are logged in AWS CloudTrail for auditing.
