AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Updated multiplexer setup terminology, added Lambda environment properties clarification, and updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' in multiple sections
Security assessment
The changes are terminology updates and clarifications about connector types and when Lambda environment properties apply. The requirement to use AWS Secrets Manager was already present, and the change only clarifies the connection type. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability.
