------------------------------------
Summary: For S3 use credentials file
Key: HADOOP-9293
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9293
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fs/s3
Affects Versions: 1.0.2
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Andy Sautins
Priority: Minor
The following document describes the current way that S3 credentials can be
specified ( http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/AmazonS3 ). In summary they are:
- in the S3 URI.
- in the hadoop-site.xml file as
- fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId
- fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey
- fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId
- fs.s3n.aswSecretAccessKey
The amazon EMR tool elastic-mapreduce already provide the ability to use a
credentials file ( see
http://s3.amazonaws.com/awsdocs/ElasticMapReduce/latest/emr-qrc.pdf ).
I would propose that we allow roughly the same access to credentials through a
credentials file that is currently provided by elastic-mapreduce. This should
allow for centralized administration of credentials which should be positive
for security.
I propose the following properties:
<property><name>f3.s3.awsCredentialsFile</name><value>/path/to/file</value></property>
<property><name>fs.s3n.awsCredentialsFile</name><value>/path/to/file</value></property>
