AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Added clarification that Lambda environment properties apply only with Lambda function usage and updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' for credential storage requirements, multiplexing handler support, and ConnectionSchemaVersion.
Security assessment
The changes are documentation updates to improve specificity and clarity. While reinforcing the use of AWS Secrets Manager for credentials (a security best practice), there is no concrete evidence of addressing a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The updates refine existing text rather than adding new security documentation.
