AWS clean-rooms: Updated Spark configuration parameters in SQL Editor documentation

Service: clean-rooms · 2026-08-12 · Documentation low

File: clean-rooms/latest/userguide/use-sql-editor.md

Summary

Corrected parameter names and added new Spark configurations including cross-join settings and memory safeguards.

Security assessment

The change adds performance and resource management configurations without addressing specific security weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

Evidence

+spark.maxRemoteBlockSizeFetchToMem |  Sets the size threshold above which Spark fetches remote blocks to disk instead of memory. This avoids a single large request consuming too much memory. |  200m
