title: AWS Glue+Athena skip header row
body: <p>As of <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/release-note-2018-01-19.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">January 19, 2018 updates</a>, Athena can skip the header row of files,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Support for ignoring headers. You can use the <code>skip.header.line.count</code> property when defining tables, to allow Athena to ignore headers.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I use <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-glue-table.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AWS Glue in Cloudformation</a> to manage my Athena tables. Using the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-glue-table-tableinput.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Glue Table Input</a>, how can I tell Athena to skip the header row?</p>
