Hi all,

We are currently integrating S3 remote signing into Apache Polaris [1].

A key topic of discussion [2] is the signer endpoint, which is defined
as "v1/aws/s3/sign" in s3-signer-open-api.yaml [3].

The main concern with the default value is its rigidity and lack of
path parameters for important elements like namespace, table, and
potentially a general-purpose prefix.

This leads to my two questions regarding this endpoint:

1. Customization: is it spec-compliant to customize this endpoint's
path? My understanding, based on the commit introducing the feature
[4], is that it is.

2. Scope: should it be treated as a top-level endpoint (similar to the
config endpoint), or is it better considered an internal
implementation detail of the signer client? (This is important to
Polaris because top-level endpoints require higher evolution
guarantees.)

I would love to hear from the community, especially those involved in
the S3 remote signing implementation!

Thanks,
Alex
