### Query engine AWS Athena ### Question Right now, I have an Iceberg table set up through AWS Athena. I have backed up my data through AWS Backup, which basically restores the S3 buckets if for some reason the S3 buckets are deleted. I have tested this, and after restoring, Athena still lets me query the restored data, which is perfect. If I run a DROP TABLE command, Athena loses reference to the table and the S3 data is deleted. I thought "okay, no problem, we can just recreate the table and then instantiate our backup". But this does not work. For some reason, Athena loses reference to the table even if I point it to the same exact location where it used to point. Does anyone have a solution for this? Right now, I am exposed to an erroneous DROP TABLE command by a developer/admin. I have not been able to find any information on this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
