Access AWS Glue from local Spark

Question

Is there any way to run local master Spark SQL queries against AWS Glue?

Launch this code on my local PC:

SparkSession.builder()
    .master("local")
    .enableHiveSupport()
    .config("hive.metastore.client.factory.class", "com.amazonaws.glue.catalog.metastore.AWSGlueDataCatalogHiveClientFactory")
    .getOrCreate()
    .sql("show databases"); // this query isn't running against AWS Glue

EDIT based on some examples it appears that the hive.metastore.uris configuration key should allow specifying a specific metastore url, however, it's not clear how to get the relevant value for glue

SparkSession.builder()
    .master("local")
    .enableHiveSupport()
    .config("hive.metastore.client.factory.class", "com.amazonaws.glue.catalog.metastore.AWSGlueDataCatalogHiveClientFactory")
    .config("hive.metastore.uris", "thrift://???:9083")
    .getOrCreate()
    .sql("show databases"); // this query isn't running against AWS Glue

Amazon provide this client that should solve the problem. (didn't try it yet)
