steveloughran commented on issue #1661: HADOOP-16484. S3A to warn or fail if 
S3Guard is disabled
URL: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/1661#issuecomment-545050809
 
 
   
   Made my comments. Unlike Sid, I do believe the default should be to inform.
   
   1. AWS S3 is the main s3 store we deal with.
   1. If you don't use s3guard then intermittently things fail. rarely, but 
inevitably
   1. Sometimes the failures (new files not in list used during rename) miss 
data, and the result is corrupt -but people dont notice until later, when the 
support calls are "where is my data?"
   1. sometimes failures are immediate and there the support calls are "rename 
failed with error ..."
   1. either way, step 1 is trying to work out if s3guard is on
   1. which today we can only infer by looking for the absence of s3guard 
messages
   
   this fixes things so that we do get messages in the log, and users get 
warned. Everyone needs this.
