Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14090:
-----------------------------------------
Having separate region/endpoint just confuses me. The docs will need a
paragraph on it. Key thing: the endpoint specifies the s3 endpoint for
authentication. If I specify DDB region, what does that mean for the s3a
bucket? What if they are different...does that just run DDB somewhere else?
other than that
* Unix convention is to use -- for long commands, so if an app supports single
char options, you can combine them {{tar \-xvf == tar \-x \-v \-f}}. So use
"\-\-" as the prefix here.
* please use shared string constants for "region" and "endpoint" in code &
tests.
* -1 to TODOs in code. Better to add a new JIRA item rather than leave comments
in the source with will inevitably get forgotten about. JIRA should be where
the entire TODO list should be documented.

> Assuming the AWS SDK allows this, I think this would be a better way to
> configure it for any usage on AWS itself (with endpoint still being an option
> for AWS-compatible non-AWS use cases). Unless users actually care about a
> specific endpoint, this is easier. Perhaps less important, HADOOP-14023 shows
> that inferring the region from the endpoint (which granted, isn't that
> necessary) doesn't work very well at all.
