So is this the Amazon clone of Google's Spanner?

  No. Spanner is a globally distributed database which supports transactions. It is meant for applications which need to make frequent updates to a database, but the storage for the database may be distributed around the world. Redshift is a different usage model. You upload your data once, then ask questions of it - but you don't update it. Google does have something similar to Redshift: BigQuery (https://cloud.google.com/products/big-query https://cloud.google.com/products/big-query).
