The solution

Thanks @Clément_Stenac for support.

Please upgrade to AthenaJDBC42-2.1.5.1001.jar driver (the 1000 is not working).
Very important: please put the jar in a *subfolder* of lib/jdbc, not directly in lib/jdbc, as that would prevent DSS from restarting:

1/ Remove /data/dataiku/dss_data/lib/jdbc/athenaJDBC42-2.1.5.1000.jar
2/ mkdir /data/dataiku/dss_data/lib/jdbc/athena/​
3/ Download the 1001 driver into  /data/dataiku/dss_data/lib/jdbc/athena/
4/ Restart DSS
5/ In the connection, use "lib/jdbc/athena" as the "Jars directory"

Best regards

There are no screen shots attached to your post. Have you reviewed the Dataiku Athena documentation?
